Just got the email notification this morning. 63 people confirmed in the San Diego office. I wasn't on the list, but the atmosphere here is absolute trash right now. It feels like every time we get a decent rhythm going, the rug gets pulled. Management is doing the typical 'this is about realigning resources' spiel, but it really just feels like death by a thousand cuts. I have a buddy who was in the Engineering org who got cut today—been there four years, top performer rating, total blindside. Has anyone heard if they are doing a deeper round, or is this the extent of it? I’m seriously considering polishing up the resume tonight because I don’t think this is the end of it. The uncertainty is worse than actually losing the job at this point.

It’s honestly soul-crushing to watch this happen cycle after cycle. They keep using the same tired 'realigning resources' script while losing the people who actually keep the lights on. I’ve been through two rounds already, and the lack of transparency is the worst part—everyone is just waiting for the next shoe to drop. My heart goes out to your friend; it’s brutal to get cut after years of high performance. This company is gutting its own culture, and it’s only a matter of time before the quality of the product starts reflecting the state of the morale.

The tone-deafness from leadership is staggering at this point. They talk about growth and scaling, but they keep slashing the engineering teams that make it possible. Seeing a top performer get blindsided after four years just proves that loyalty doesn't mean a thing here anymore. It's impossible to focus on a sprint or a project when you’re constantly looking over your shoulder wondering if you're next. The office vibe is toxic, and at this point, the best move is likely to start updating your resume before they make the decision for you.
