"Splunk just laid off the entire enterprise security sellers and observability teams. Only core reps are sellers."

Any truth to this rumor?

Yes, 100% true. Executive leadership sent out e-mails about this reorg last week, and addressed it on the Town Hall as well.

Hate to hear this… Best of luck to all those let go.

They’re supposedly creating an “Advisory” team and moving as many people from the reorg over to this new team as possible. We shall see

For context - I was interviewing for a Discretionary BDR with them. Got ghosted late the process and used my connection inside to find out the truth. His manager left for a startup mid interview, this explains some of that

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
