I used to work for Pivotal before its acquisition by VMWare and one of the ops person told me that the town halls became a lot less interesting once the company went public and employees are usually the last ones to know with respect to insider-trading rules and policies. While I think the layoffs could have been better but I don't see Hashicorp flagrantly violating their own principles, as claimed by Gergely. Also - hope that employees affected by layoffs find another place soon.
