- General instability in the company brought about by decisions designed to increase churn (removal of workplace benefits like lunch and learning/development stipend, mandated/no-exception RTO MWF, move from RSU’s → options, granting of RSU portability to loosen them golden handcuffs ⛓️💥).
- Potential headwinds to historical success due to erratic, seemingly panicked decision making by leadership bent on hitting growth goals. Potential of some present big swings costing us in long-term, and obviously the general challenges of high-performers who are able to depart doing so and being universally understaffed likely for the remainder of year at least.
- Very low likelihood of comp increases in the near future, suspended for 2025 with future being conditional on extraordinary targets being met (effectively cost-of-living adjustments are considered performance incentives).
- Unclear on intended future of Turo based on sudden direction shifts (pulling S1 then trying a manufactured RIF)
For DS professionals specifically:
- Some backslide away from model solutions towards basic heuristics in some domains may be a source of frustration (generally still think Data Org leadership can be relied on to push towards the right decision).
