Virta reviews

Wow, Virta. What a disappointment. What happened to your values of “People First” and “Taking Care of Each Other”? Did these values evaporate overnight? From one day to the other 1/3 of the company was laid off without any kind of indication or advance notice of what was to come. One day you are told that everything is great. The next day you find yourself in a 7-minute Zoom meeting with several other shocked people who are told that this is it. No sign of compassion, no thank you for your hard work, no words of regret to maybe soften the blow. It’s one thing to get axed by a company that didn’t give you the illusion of safety, and that didn’t pretend that you count for something as a human being. It’s a different thing to get laid off like that by a company that did exactly that. The saddest part is that 99% of the people who got laid off in such a humiliating way would have probably been happy and willing to accept a cut in hours, or a reduced salary, or willing to accept anything else that could have helped the company through these COVID-19 times. But no alternatives whatsoever were proposed to help people stay employed. Well, good luck with trying to maintain the illusion of “People First”. Very disappointing and sad.
