Anyone else notice the slow bleed instead of one big cut?

It feels like we’re in a state of permanent restructuring. That April 28th WARN notice for the 133 people just felt like another chapter in a book that doesn't have an ending. Everyone I talk to in the office—or on Slack—is just waiting for the next shoe to drop. It’s hard to stay focused on shipping features when you’re constantly checking to see if your team is still on the org chart the next morning. Is it just me, or is the 'efficiency' narrative just a mask for trying to keep the stock price from cratering completely? I miss the days when we were actually scaling instead of just fighting to keep our heads above water. At this point, the transparency from leadership feels like a script written by PR to keep us from jumping ship before the next quarterly review. Anyone else feeling like they’re just burning PTO before the inevitable?

It is exhausting to watch the company transform into a shadow of what it was during the growth phase. The constant restructuring isn't about efficiency; it's about making the financials look palatable for investors while the internal culture rots from the inside out. We spend more time analyzing org charts and speculating about layoffs than actually building the product. It’s a toxic environment where loyalty is rewarded with a Slack notification and a revoked badge. Everyone is just polishing their resume and waiting for their turn on the chopping block.

I honestly think the leadership team has lost the plot entirely. They keep peddling this 'streamlining' rhetoric, but it’s clear they have no long-term vision beyond keeping the stock price from cratering for another quarter. When you strip away the talent to save a few bucks, you're not becoming more efficient, you're just becoming less capable. I’ve stopped caring about quarterly roadmaps because, let’s be real, half the people required to build those features won't be here in six months anyway. It’s just sad at this point.
