Disappointed is an understatement. - Employee Denim Employee Review

The company preaches transparency and being team-first as some of its core values but employees were mislead and deceived. Employees were told after securing Series B funding that the company had 3 years of runway at minimum just to lay 30% of the workforce off less than 3 months later. We lost so many amazing employees due to mismanagement of funds and overspending by the executive team. Executive team offsites taking place abroad while employees are getting laid off?? Doesn’t add up. The way the layoff occurred was cold, heartless, and didn’t give the affected employees any opportunity to even say goodby to coworkers. Once you were told your position was being eliminated your computer was factory reset and locked and your accounts were immediately disabled. No chance to say goodbyes to anyone or even take a moment to get contact information from one another. Obviously getting laid off sucks, but I was extremely disappointed in the way it was handled and wouldn’t have had so much resentment towards the company had they treated us like humans throughout the layoff process. Mistakes were made and times are hard but they could have made it easier by having a little bit more EMPATHY.
