Svantaggi
I’m very disappointed in Headspace and hesitated writing this after I left. Layoffs are normal, especially in high growth startups. The layoff of many of my colleagues in November was handled in a very poor fashion with little information given to management let alone those laid off as to why certain teammates of ours were let go. I recently learned that many of those laid off were minority leaders in ERG groups, intentional or not this is an extremely bad look. Headspace also did away with many of its DEI language in marketing assets. All of this happened since the current CEO, Tom, came in. Many of the benefits that attracted top talent (ie MindDays, every other Friday off) were done away with to “be more productive.” It’s obvious Headspace values a profit over their people. Their change management was also atrocious. There were significantly too many tools used to accomplish one job. Why not cut redundant software contracts vs cutting 13% of the population? I would never suggest someone work there or use their product going forward. Many current employees who have been there years are looking for other work.
