...ebex call from the manager, you get to know that you have lost your job. Perfect timing because stocks were not vested, and new hike salary was amiss. If this is not fraudulent, cheater-like behavior, I don’t know what is. They are putting effort in Linode now, which is going to be a big flop. Strongly recommend you don’t join this workplace, because you will not feel welcomed here - there are old folks who are stuck for decades and the axe is always on the new comers. There’s not much growth in terms of learning either. They follow legacy method of working and are extremely resistant to change. The future jobs that they will generate are also not secure because the leadership mentioned in the townhall “layoffs might happen again if the need arises”.
