3rd round of layoffs at Gojek/GoTo

Today, all of a sudden, some folks got emails that they have been laid off. There is an uncertainty around the transparency of layoffs now. It was communicated org wide last March and November when then last 2 layoffs were conducted. This time, no-one seems to know how many people got impacted and who got impacted.

Some people at head/lead/senior positions have started voluntary leaving as well. Not sure if they are being asked to leave or if they are leaving themselves.

Hard to see these things happening in a company with an amazing work culture. :/

Work culture amazing ho ya tatti…. Jab waqt bura ho, lay-off sabka aata hai…. Kat ta sabka hai….

Company culture sways perfectly with business performance outlook. The former is a product of the latter. A good culture company can “afford” a good culture.
That SAID, companies with the same business outlook can also have differing cultures which is very heavily related to the Business Leaders and HR teams in those companies. I’ve been part of a few companies with neutral business outlook but absolute garbage culture just because of a few terrible hires.

I’ve heard some worrying rumours from Indo-based folks about possibility of layoffs in upcoming weeks/months. Does anybody know what’s going to happen...

Goto stock was up by 37% yesterday, any news?

Perspective is everything. 35% upward movement looks good, but if you just change the timeline, the stock is down 61% from the time of listing

That's definitely not due to this. There is an index MSCI to which goto got added and people subscribed to it had to purchase it. Got it from murz fans
