Just saw the filings come through for Laurelwood and Juliette Lane. It’s only about 46 people total between the two locations, which honestly feels like a drop in the bucket compared to the massive purge earlier this year, but it’s still demoralizing. Does it ever end? It feels like we’re being drained slowly by a thousand cuts rather than just ripping the bandage off. I have friends at both sites and the uncertainty is the worst part. Every time the notification dings, everyone looks at their Slack to see if their manager is still online. It’s impossible to focus on actual engineering when the 're-structuring' is a constant, lingering shadow. Are we expecting more of these smaller, localized notices to keep happening through Q4, or is this the tail end of the 'efficiency' drive?

The constant drip of layoffs is honestly worse than a single massive event. At this point, the morale is so low that people are just waiting for their turn instead of focusing on their work. It feels like leadership has no clear vision for the long term and is just scrambling to cut costs to appease shareholders. Watching the culture dissolve like this is heartbreaking for those of us who remember when this place actually felt like a stable career destination.

Forty-six people might be a drop in the bucket to the executives, but that is forty-six livelihoods disrupted. The 'death by a thousand cuts' strategy keeps everyone on edge, and it is impossible to maintain any real productivity when you are constantly wondering if your badge will still work on Monday. Whatever happened to the company we used to know? It feels like we are just being liquidated piece by piece to keep the stock price from cratering completely.
