Edward here-- I think I know what you're talking about, and I understand and appreciate your perspective. Layoffs are absolutely the most soul-crushing acceptance of defeat for employers from a human perspective, and I'm so sorry that you were affected by our shrinking. I don't believe there's a cliquey/gossipy aspect anymore, but I'm keeping your feedback as fully valid and a component of how I'll be rebuilding Etumos going forward in 2026.
Wishing we could retain all Etumotes forever (that's been my explicit goal since starting this company in 2014), and sorry for the painful changes that impacted you and your family. Seriously, that's more important to me than money.
Proud of all Etumotes, even the ones impacted by layoffs due to macroeconomic conditions out of our control, because you are all extraordinarily competent. I'm excited to watch from afar as you grow!
