It's been a little while since the last round of layoffs hit Roku, and I'm still trying to process everything. For those of us who are still here, it feels like walking on eggshells. The workload has definitely increased, and there's a general sense of uncertainty about the company's direction. It's hard to feel motivated when you see colleagues let go and know that the financial pressures are still very real. I'm starting to wonder what the long-term plan is. Are they trying to streamline for profitability, or is this just the beginning of more significant changes? I'm looking for some honest perspectives from people who are still at Roku. How are you coping? Are you actively looking elsewhere? Just want to know I'm not alone in feeling this way. It's a really tough environment right now.

It's completely understandable to feel that way. The atmosphere after significant layoffs can be incredibly draining. The increased workload on top of the uncertainty is a tough combination. Remember to focus on your own contributions and look for opportunities that align with your skills, regardless of the company's current situation. Sometimes, these periods can also lead to unexpected growth or new directions you hadn't considered before.

That "walking on eggshells" feeling is so real and it's a shame that's the current vibe. It sounds like a lot of added pressure. Hopefully, leadership will start communicating a clearer vision soon to ease some of those anxieties. In the meantime, try to find small wins and maintain connections with supportive colleagues. That can make a big difference in navigating these challenging times.
