4yI'm sorry your experience here was like this. When we acquire companies, we do so because it enables us to better serve our customers. We do not gut staff because that undermines the very reason we bought the company. That said, there are typically a small number of positions that aren't needed when part of a bigger company. If you were in one of those roles then it is really hard. We strive to find an alternative role (we really do), but that also doesn't matter if there wasn't a role for you. The whole thing feels awful and I'm sorry.
I do want to address that we also backfill roles when people exit. There is a delay in hiring for us as for everyone right now, so we've increased our recruiting team. I worry that you may also have been in a portion of the company where I would agree that leaders needed to communicate better and be closer to the real work required. We addressed that, but I agree that was a really frustrating experience for people on that team.
On raises and 401K match - we absolutely do both. We increased our 401k match this year and kept it structured so people with less leeway to save could get the full match. Salaries across the board have increased with special focus on our more junior staff where we have made big moves.
We also took important steps of ensuring internal promotions are at market rates and that we pay people what the job is worth, not based on what the person was previously earning. That's the right way to build a company so that we have great people, product and service.
I understand your experience wasn't good here. Maybe some of this helps as you move forward to know that, outside of your experience, there is good work and the right things happening. We'll keep working to make sure no one else has your experience.
