If you have a lot of coworkers who have been let go, do you feel pressure to push yourself extremely hard to keep up/overperform?

Have there been layoffs at Spotify?

Not that I’m aware of!

I feel the need to perform but no more than I did before. Our company has done a great job of performing so we haven’t had any layoffs and we’re actually able to get raises for 2021 after none in 2020. Others in my industry were laying people off the week before Christmas.

Work hard and if Spotify is where you love working, show them that you really enjoy working there. Sometimes a little appreciation goes a long way.

Yeah I think everyone experiences this, especially this year. However, sometimes layoffs come down to annoying things like budget and cutting the parts of the business that are least “important.” It’s not always performance-based and so you must not be too hard on yourself. Perform the way you should and that’s all that matters, some things are out of your control but try not to let them affect you

I would cuz I would feel I would have the same fate and would want to prove my worth. But if you like the company enough you could look for other positions in the company. Since it’s the start of the new year there’s more headcount open. It’s less stressful than interviewing at an entirely different company.

Sadly, depending on the company, it won't matter how hard you work or how awesome your metrics (if you use them) are.
