At a recent All Hands meeting following layoffs, the CEO dismissed concerns regarding morale by suggesting there were no issues and labeling negative Glassdoor feedback as from "disgruntled people in their dark caves."

There's a growing sense that management may overlook the hard work of employees as restructuring occurs frequently—at least twice yearly—with teams being cut to save costs. Conversations across teams reveal an increasing pressure and feeling of being overwhelmed by workload, while compensation increases seem minimal despite favorable peer and managerial reviews, potentially lagging behind the cost of living.
