  1. 1

    I’ve been reflecting on the recent layoffs in the tech industry and how some CEOs have handled them poorly. For instance, I was shocked to hear about Linda Tong from Webflow, who locked employees out of their work laptops before they even knew they were laid off. Many had to turn to LinkedIn to find out their status from their managers. Then there's Matthew Prince from Cloudflare, who laid off thousands and later wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal referring to those affected as 'measurers' who don't matter in the AI landscape. And let's not forget Mark Zuckerberg at Meta, who caused a lot of anxiety with his rolling layoffs communicated through a 4am email. I’m thinking of compiling a list of these infamous actions to hold these CEOs accountable and ensure their actions are remembered. I plan to create a site dedicated to this, purely for awareness, not for profit. I’d love to hear if anyone else has examples of poorly handled layoffs to add to my list.
