Stock price cooling off - any impact on headcount?
1C
0x1cd8…e6e5I’ve been watching our ticker lately and the volatility is starting to make me nervous. We’ve been hiring aggressively over the last year to keep up with the AI hype cycle, but the market seems to be pricing in some serious deceleration. Does anyone have a pulse on how leadership is feeling about the current burn rate? Usually, when the stock drops like this and we've hit our recent hiring milestones, it’s only a matter of time before they start looking at 'operational efficiencies.' I love the tech we’re building, but I’ve been through a RIF before at a previous chipmaker, and the vibe in the office lately feels suspiciously quiet. Are we still full steam ahead on expansion, or has the hiring freeze finally hit behind the scenes? Would love to hear if anyone in engineering has seen a slowdown in project approvals or if we’re still just dumping cash into R&D like it’s 2022.
