Why in the world would Twilio take somebody who is this loyal to their culture and put them out on their ear?
This person was a true believer. They stuck with the company for 9 YEARS.
If you want to shift the company, then do that -- and take your true believers WITH YOU.
This isn't leadership on Twilio's part. This is a scared company. They aren't making smart decisions. They're just cowing to investors.

- Manuel_D 4y agoBecause companies aren't family, and they aren't welfare programs. Continuing to retain these employees would require increasing prices to pay for this glut of labor, and shift the burden on customers. And if customers drop because of increased prices, they might have to lay people off anyway. There is no "sacred company".
