Our CEO told all of us that they were laying off 5% of the company weeks ago. This isnt new news. Supposed to be the bottom 5% of performers. 5% of 500,000 is 25k

Thanks! I needed that. Blood sugar was getting low from being so amazing.

These things are never the bottom x%. That makes up some of it, then they fire expensive people to pump up the economics.

What is "expensive"? Someone that is making more money than they're bringing in? Sounds synonymous with low performer to me. If I earn $10 million per year, but I bring in $200 million in revenue, sounds like it would be more "expensive" to not have me around. (I don't make that much, nor do I sell that much. Exaggerating to make a point.)

Omg 25k??

We announced 5% performance based separations after reviews conclude in a few different places. 5%*500,000=25,000

Sounds better than the accurate but ominous sounding "terminations" 🤷🏻‍♂️

I doubt that 5% client facing workforce will be affected by this

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
