The drip-feed layoffs are honestly more draining than the initial mass exodus. When everyone gets let go at once, there's a collective sense of shock, but this slow-motion removal creates an environment of pure, paralyzing anxiety. Nobody is actually working on the roadmap; they are just checking their Slack status and waiting for the inevitable invite to appear on their calendar. It’s no longer about engineering or product growth—it’s just a game of musical chairs where the music never stops and there are fewer seats every single week.
At this point, it’s not really an office anymore, is it? It’s just a graveyard for projects that no one has the resources to maintain. The constant turnover means any institutional knowledge just evaporates overnight, leaving the remaining staff to scramble over the remnants of broken features. I feel for anyone still stuck in those seats, watching their coworkers vanish in waves. It’s hard to call it a strategy when the only thing being executed is the systematic dismantling of the entire workforce. Just get out while you can.
