Anyone else feel like Roku is heading towards another round of layoffs?

Just checking in to see if anyone else is getting the same vibe I am. The news cycle around Roku has been pretty heavy on the "cost-cutting" and "restructuring" narrative for a while now. We've seen a couple of rounds of cuts in the past, and honestly, it feels like history might be repeating itself. My team has been oddly quiet lately, and there's been a noticeable slowdown in new project approvals. It’s the kind of quiet that makes you wonder what’s brewing behind the scenes. I’ve also noticed a few key people in my extended network have either left or are actively looking elsewhere. Is anyone hearing anything concrete, or is it just the usual market noise and investor pressure? Trying to piece together if this is just a normal business cycle adjustment or if we should be bracing for impact. Any insights or observations would be appreciated.

Yeah, I'm getting that feeling too. The constant talk about efficiency and 'optimizing operations' always seems to precede some tough news. My department has definitely felt the pinch on resources, and project timelines are getting stretched. It's hard not to be a little anxious when you see those patterns emerge.

I've been hearing whispers internally that align with what you're saying. There's a general sense of uncertainty, and the focus on profitability over growth feels a bit more intense than usual. It wouldn't surprise me if more belt-tightening measures are on the horizon.
