fascinating that some individuals can lie this blatantly and then sleep like babes.
- otabdeveloper4 3y agoDo I read that correctly? A significant percentage of Slack/Salesforce's employees were doing literally zero work?
- The_Colonel 3y agoWhy jump to conclusions like that? The simplest answer is that there will be less product development.
- CapricornNoble 3y agoThey won't ask you to do the same amount of work....they'll ask you to do more work. See, it wasn't a lie! j/k
- anticensor 3y agoLying by omission is still lying.

- ubertaco 3y agoI left Salesforce exactly _because_ this was a lie 4ish layoffs ago, and I have no reason to believe it's less of a lie now. They cut my engineering group into 1/3rd its size, put the other 2/3rds on a greenfield project, and gave us a couple of weeks to complete handoff such that the remaining 1/3rd had to maintain/finish/handle-support-for everything that the 2/3rds group used to own. This all happened in the _middle_ of one of their three yearly waterfall-planned release cycles, so that meant we were also on the hook for delivering everything the original teams had planned. It was a dumpster fire. From what I gather, things have mostly gotten worse since. They could never pay me enough to go back (well, okay, they could pay me millions per month, and I'd consider going back and then quitting after like a month or two).
