Performance Review Season and the Unknowns
With perf review season rolling around, I'm feeling a bit more anxious than usual. Typically, it's just about bonuses and promotions, but this year feels different. There's been a lot of emphasis on individual contributions and impact, which is fine, but also a lot of talk about 'right-sizing' teams based on performance. While there haven't been any official announcements or large-scale layoffs, the whispers about people being 'managed out' or 'performance managed' seem to be more frequent. It's making me second-guess my own trajectory and performance, even though I've consistently met my goals. Has anyone else been through this at DD before, where performance reviews felt like a precursor to something more? Trying to stay positive and focused, but the uncertainty is definitely getting to me. Just looking for some perspective from others who might be in a similar boat or have navigated this before.
Anyone else seeing a vibe shift at Datadog lately?
Hey everyone, been at DD for a few years now and honestly, things feel a bit different recently. Not seeing any official news or hearing direct rumblings, but there's a definite shift in the air. The usual buzz and energy seem to have dampened a bit. I've noticed some project teams getting restructured, and there's been more talk about efficiency and 'streamlining operations' in internal comms than usual. It's subtle, but it's there. Anyone else picking up on this? Is it just me, or are others feeling a bit of uncertainty creep in? Curious to hear if anyone has any insights or observations that might explain this. Maybe it's just the general market, but it feels more specific to DD somehow. Just want to get a sense of the broader sentiment.
Hypothetical: What would severance look like if it happened?
Okay, so obviously nothing's been confirmed and I'm trying not to panic, but I've seen this before at other companies and it's always good to be prepared. I've been here for about 5 years, working as an SRE on one of the larger cloud integration teams. I know severance packages can vary wildly. Does anyone have experience with how companies in this sector typically handle it? Thinking about things like: weeks per year of service, health insurance continuation (COBRA subsidy?), outplacement services, stock vesting acceleration. Is there usually a standard HR handout or is it negotiated? Just trying to get a sense of what a potential worst-case scenario might look like financially, so I can at least have a plan B in mind if things go sideways. Doesn't hurt to be informed, right?
Anyone else feeling the vibe shift? Rumors or just me?
Hey all, been at Datadog for about 3 years now, mostly on the core platform/infrastructure side. Lately, there's just been this... tension? It's hard to put a finger on. Performance reviews seemed a bit more pointed this cycle, and there have been a few whispers about 'efficiency' and 're-orgs' that sound a little too familiar. I haven't heard anything concrete, no leaked WARN notices or anything, but the general atmosphere feels different. Managers seem a bit more guarded, and there's less transparency than usual about future roadmaps. Just wondering if anyone else in different departments (maybe sales, or engineering on a more customer-facing team?) are picking up on similar signals, or if I'm just overthinking things. Starting to feel a little anxious, not gonna lie.
Just got laid off. What severance package is typical?
Well, it finally happened. Just got the news that my role is being eliminated. I was on the customer support team for almost 5 years. HR mentioned a severance package, but I was too shocked to really pay attention to the details. Has anyone here been through a layoff at Datadog recently? What kind of severance did you receive? Trying to figure out if what they're offering is reasonable. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Feeling pretty lost right now.
Possible Reorg Rumors - NYC Office?
Heard from a usually reliable source (senior engineer on the platform team) that there's a potential reorg in the works, possibly impacting teams in the NYC office. Apparently, some overlap in responsibilities was identified, and they're looking to streamline things. No mention of layoffs specifically, but reorgs can often be a precursor. Anyone else heard anything similar? Trying to gauge how seriously to take this.
Anyone else feeling super anxious lately?
I've been at Datadog for almost 3 years now, in a backend engineering role on the cloud integrations team. Things have been...weird. There's this underlying tension in every meeting, and my manager seems stressed all the time. I know the economy is shaky, and other companies are doing layoffs. I haven't heard anything concrete, but I can't shake this feeling that something's coming. Anyone else picking up on this? Am I just paranoid? Maybe I'm spending too much time on Blind...
Just venting: This pressure is insane!!!
I'm a junior engineer, been here for barely a year. The pressure to deliver is relentless. It feels like everyone is constantly breathing down my neck. The deadlines are unrealistic, the expectations are sky-high, and the constant 'urgent' requests are burning me out. I'm starting to hate this job. I get paid well, sure, but I'm working crazy hours and feel like I'm constantly failing. Is this just how it is in cloud computing, or did I make a mistake joining this company?
Worried about severance... what to expect after 3 years?
Look, I'm not trying to spread FUD, but with everything going on in tech, I'm trying to be prepared. Been at Datadog for 3 years, doing frontend. Anyone have insight into what a typical severance package looks like around here? Is it based on tenure, performance, or just luck of the draw? Trying to figure out my runway if the worst happens. Thanks in advance.
Anyone else feeling uneasy? Hiring slowed way down...
I'm in SRE, been here almost 4 years. I know the market's generally soft, but the sudden freeze on new headcount is making me sweat. Last year we were fighting over candidates, now it's crickets. My manager keeps saying everything's fine, standard Q3 slowdown, but I remember 2020... Anyone else seeing similar signs, or am I just paranoid?
