Anyone else feeling the pressure at Okta lately?
This is more of a rant, I guess. It's been a weird few months. Projects are getting re-prioritized constantly, budgets feel tighter than ever, and there's this general sense of uncertainty that wasn't really here before. I'm not going to speculate on specific numbers or departments, but the underlying tension is palpable. You can feel it in the all-hands meetings, the way leadership talks about 'efficiency' and 'streamlining.' It's the kind of language that usually precedes bad news. Just venting because it's hard to stay focused when you're constantly wondering what's next. Anyone else in a similar boat? Or am I just being overly paranoid? Would appreciate any insights, even if it's just to commiserate.
Okta - hearing whispers about potential cuts?
Hey everyone, been seeing some chatter online and hearing some indirect comments from folks who know people at Okta. Nothing concrete, no official announcements or anything, but the vibe is definitely a little uneasy. It's been a rough year for tech overall, and cybersecurity isn't exactly immune. I remember seeing some posts from earlier this year about layoffs, and it feels like that specter is hanging around again. Anyone else picking up on anything? Just trying to get a sense of the temperature there. If anything is confirmed, please share. Trying to stay informed. Be safe out there and keep your ears to the ground.
Rant: The constant re-orgs are killing morale!
Seriously, how many times have we been re-orged in the past two years? I'm in the Support org, and I swear, every six months we get shuffled around, new managers, new priorities, and then nobody remembers what we were even working on before. It's impossible to get anything done when the goalposts are constantly moving! I'm so tired of having to re-justify my existence every time the VP decides to shake things up. Honestly, it feels like they're just trying to avoid actually addressing the real problems. I used to love working here, but now it just feels like a constant state of chaos. I'm venting, I know, but I needed to get this off my chest. Anyone else feel the same?
Severance Package - What to expect?
Hypothetically speaking, if Okta *were* to do a layoff, what does the standard severance package look like? I'm a L4 engineer with 2.5 years at the company. Trying to get a sense of what I might be walking away with, if the worst happens. Is it based on tenure? Do they offer outplacement services? I've heard horror stories from friends at other companies, so I want to be prepared. Any info is appreciated (again, just hypothetically!)
Anyone else feeling super anxious lately? (Layoff Watch)
I'm in the Sales Enablement team, been with Okta for almost 4 years now, and I can't shake this feeling that something big is about to drop. The vibe has been off for weeks. My manager keeps saying everything is fine, but then they canceled our team offsite. Anyone else noticing weird things or just feeling uneasy? Are we bracing for impact? I'm starting to polish up my resume just in case, but the job market is... not great right now. Trying not to panic, but it's hard. Anyone have any insight, or just want to commiserate?
My skip-level is a total jerk
Just need to vent for a minute. My skip-level manager is completely out of touch. We had an all-hands meeting last week, and he spent the whole time talking about how "fortunate" we are to work here and how we should all be "grateful" for the opportunities. Dude, my workload has doubled since last quarter, and I'm working nights and weekends just to keep up. Then he says how he's committed to "transparency" but dodges every question about company performance. If things were so great, why is there a hiring freeze and why are people quietly leaving? It's infuriating to listen to this garbage when you're struggling just to stay afloat.
Question about severance packages
Hypothetically speaking, if there *were* layoffs, does anyone know what the typical severance package looks like at Okta? I've heard rumors about different things – weeks per year of service, continued benefits, etc. – but nothing concrete. I've been here for 5 years in a sales role and trying to get a realistic expectation so I can plan if the worst happens. Also, does anyone know if they negotiate, or is it a take-it-or-leave-it kind of deal?
Anyone else feeling super anxious lately?
I'm in engineering and the vibe has been so weird the last few weeks. Lots of closed-door meetings, people being vague, and a general sense of unease. I know the whole tech industry is a bit shaky right now, but it feels different here. I've been with Okta for 3 years and haven't seen anything like this. I'm constantly checking my email and LinkedIn, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Am I just being paranoid, or is anyone else getting the same feeling?
