I thought I had already posted a review for this company (see "A Master Class in Corporate Chaos — Avoid at All Costs") because the same thing happened to me around the same time, and I have the exact same thoughts as that employee. I never would have dreamed I’d be kicked out the door after spending my whole career here and treated like a stray animal or like I had some kind of contagious disease. No warning, no thanks for my years of dedication to a corporation growing wildly out of control—just uncomfortable silence and a removal that made my head spin it was so swift.
As mentioned in the other review, despite all the “People First” messaging, the reality is that some departments are clearly valued more than others—and if you don't directly support the bottom line, you’re expendable. My team was repeatedly pushed to the back burner—understaffed, overworked, and rarely acknowledged. Meanwhile, other departments were given new hires, tools, resources, support, and regular team retreats—while we were told there was no budget for anything, not even well-deserved and overdue promotions or raises for our team members. Just days after I was laid off, I saw people in other areas celebrating promotions on LinkedIn. We raised concerns more than once, but they went nowhere. The atmosphere was one of constant anxiety and confusion, mostly due to poor sales—which we had no influence over or way to improve. The imbalance was clear, and eventually, some of us paid the price for being invisible to leadership.
Communication is dismal. Perhaps the worst part was the cryptic calendar invite on my last day that was simply titled “[My name/manager's name] check-in.” I was shocked by the level of carelessness, heartlessness, and shadiness. My benefits, namely health insurance, expired at midnight that day. I was cut off from the server, Slack, and email immediately; it was like I was virtually shoved out the door as they locked it behind me. No transition support, no farewell. Just a cold, abrupt ending after hearing for years how this company is like a "family." This was completely contradictory to the "values" they constantly push based on their self-indulgent, contrived “color system" (a kind of corporate astrology they invented that assigns random human traits to colors and which they expect everyone to buy into).
Long story short: This company is nothing like it was when I first joined. It now lacks competent leadership, long-term vision, and basic decency, so I would advise you to stay far away. As long as executives continue to prioritize flashy acquisitions over foundational stability—and treat certain teams as expendable—the dysfunction will only deepen. You’ve been warned.
