I never really expected the job to be a long term thing but it sucks because I liked that job and needed a bit more time to recover financially and emotionally than uhh 6 months. It's also obviously unexpected.
We had a team of ~50 and they cut 11 people from a specialized subteam in February. A bunch of people freaked out and they were like "we're making intentionally deep and conservative cuts to avoid having to do this again anytime soon."
And that came alongside a "numbers-driven" VP stepping in over our team (a compliance team), and when I asked her "ok we have soft skills that don't provide numbers. How do you expect us as a team prove numerical value to you?" and she said "Do more interviews."
Fast forward literally less than 30 days and they cut the team down to 8 people.
Gonna list some professional stuff below the break.
I've intentionally worded a lot of this casually for ease, and I can easily provide copy for business-sonas.
Shares greatly appreciated.
Casey is a fantastic and incredibly talented person!!!! Please please please hire her!!!
