There are a lot of posts in Linked on sudden Layoff from Better. Com of 4000 people. Is this a separate layoff from the one their CEO infamously announced over a zoom call??

My qs is better is the only company left for ur skills???

I think nobody would want to work with better after layoff of 900 people. Whoever is smart must've started searching at that time only.

Yes, but this time, people were not notified at all via email or a meeting. Suddenly people were not able to log in to their systems. I got this info via LinkedIn.

Over hiring.... This is the term which is making me go nut again n again... Because somewhere we all know that most of the companies are over hiring now a days due to market conditions.... Not sure what will happen in the future

Hire and fire at any random time should be one of the points in the vision statement of Better.

They don't hire. Only fire

Yes, the exact count is 3200. I know someone really close to me working with better. The employees who had already left the organisation got an email too about their layoff.

like

If people who left were also laid off, maybe something is really wrong with the operations of this organisation, that they aren't even aware who's employed currently on their payroll.

The CEO should be the first one to be replaced

Yes the employees were told 2 months back only that strt searching for new jobs since they dont have much work left and the co. might lay them off as well

Is the co. Is bankrupt 🤔,
I don't think even they have specifically told to every individual that they will have to leave the org. in next two months.

Hope people don't use this as an example to scare and create fear in others.

This will create an example for the others to play with lives for sure....
Here the companies are copy cat ...
If a company ask its employees to start wfo you will see a 🌊 of companies doing the same ...
And that a very very huge concern

It’s the same one

Yes its true. Internet is full of this news. This is really terrible.

Anyone here can help with references for someone who was working with Better?

Hey! Yes I can. You can let them know to search relevant opportunities here https://globalcareers-economist.icims.com/jobs/intro/ and DM me for next steps.

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.
