- ELT, including the CEO, will publically blame specific teams for the company not doing well instead of building teams up and showing leadership - Roadmap deliverables and dates were not set by the Product or Engineering teams but held to those dates as KPIs - 25% of the company was laid off in March 2023 (~13 people) with a vast majority of those laid off being senior software engineers/individual-contributor team leads resulting in significant brain-trust loss. - Although the layoff was not a significant amount of people, the notification method was Slack and an email.
