2024–2025 has brought a lot of changes to the company, and the most concerning part is how much information is hidden from the majority of the workforce. Employees were quietly laid off in September 2024 after previous assurances that no layoffs would happen.
It is true that going against executive leadership can result in negative repercussions, but what’s more alarming is that this has also been happening within the executive team itself. Much of the executive team was mysteriously replaced within a matter of months, creating instability and uncertainty at the top.
Major policies are changed with little to no notice, such as shifts in hybrid work expectations, often without consideration for how these decisions affect employees’ lives and work arrangements.
As we head into 2026, employees should be prepared for extremely high performance expectations in a declining market. Product values have been decreasing, promotions have become less competitive, and profits appear to be funneled primarily into expansion rather than reinvestment in existing teams.
