My rant: They laid off my whole damn team
I'm so freaking pissed right now. They just gutted my entire QA team! Poof, gone. We were all called into a meeting this morning and blindsided with the news. No warning, no performance issues, just 'restructuring'. I've been busting my ass here for 5 years, and this is how they repay me? Seriously?! What am I supposed to do now? The job market is a dumpster fire. The VP who delivered the news had the audacity to say they were 'grateful for our contributions'. Grateful my ass! They're saving a buck by outsourcing our jobs to some cheaper overseas company. I am beyond furious.
Severance Package - What to expect?
Hypothetically speaking... what's the standard severance package at Roblox? I've heard whispers of restructuring within my org, and I'm trying to mentally prepare for the worst. I'm a senior engineer with 7 years of experience (3 at Roblox). I know it probably varies based on level and tenure, but any insight into the typical formula (weeks per year of service, benefits continuation, etc.) would be greatly appreciated. Also, do they usually offer career counseling or outplacement services? Thanks in advance.
Is anyone else feeling super uneasy right now? 😬
I've been at Roblox for almost 4 years now, on the Engine team. Lately, the vibe has been...off. My manager is suddenly super vague in stand-ups, upper management is holding a lot of closed-door meetings. Plus, the company-wide emails have this weirdly optimistic but also cautious tone, like they're trying too hard to reassure us. Maybe it's just my anxiety acting up, but I can't shake this feeling that something big is about to happen, and it's not good. Anyone else feeling this?
Rant: Stop hiring like crazy then firing everyone later!
Seriously, I'm so tired of this tech industry cycle. Companies like Roblox hire like there's no tomorrow, throwing money at everything, and then a year or two later, BAM, massive layoffs. Where's the long-term planning? Where's the responsibility to the employees they convinced to join? I get that the market fluctuates, but the boom-and-bust cycle is so brutal and feels so pointless. I just started here a year ago in marketing and I'm constantly on edge now. If they weren't sure they needed this many people, why did they hire us in the first place?! It's infuriating and completely demoralizing.
Severance package Q: How negotiable are they, really?
Hypothetically speaking, if layoffs were to happen, how much wiggle room is there in the severance package they offer? I've been here for 6+ years in a PM role. Is it worth trying to negotiate for more, or is it pretty much a take-it-or-leave-it situation? I've heard stories of people getting extra weeks or months, but those are usually from much smaller companies. Does anyone have firsthand experience with Roblox severance negotiations (or know someone who does)? Trying to prepare myself, just in case.
Heard some worrying whispers about a restructuring... anyone else?
Okay, so I've been at Roblox for almost 4 years now, on the Engine team. Things have felt... weird lately. A lot of closed-door meetings that my manager is attending, and the vibe in the office is definitely off. I overheard snippets about 'resource allocation' and 'streamlining.' I'm trying not to freak out, but it feels a lot like the prelude to layoffs. Has anyone else picked up on anything similar in their departments? Am I just being paranoid, or is something actually brewing? I know the stock hasn't been doing amazingly, which makes me even more nervous. Would love to hear if anyone else has any insights or rumors.
