oh shit for real? news to me. cant wait to see all the
" i want to thank Gong and all the Gongsters for such an incredible opportunity to....blah blah blah"
" i want to thank Gong and all the Gongsters for such an incredible opportunity to....blah blah blah"
I laughed really loud. Shit hahahh xD
"I truly believe that this experience has brought me not just work colleagues, but FAMILY MEMBERS. I really want to thank XYZ for being the best mentor/manager and teaching me the best!!"
hahaha this could have been copy and pasted from a post! This is exactly what I expect to see.
I thought they'd have to drink poison Kool-Aid, not just re-enter the job market.
👀🍿

Brutal because I know that we are going to be seeing a LOT of those LinkedIn influencers posting about it in the coming days/weeks
It happened a while ago tho so unfortunately we won’t see that
r/linkedinlunatics is going to blow up.
Not surprising. That's the song I have been singing - late stage private startups are in for a world of hurt.
I wonder if those ex-gongsters know how to work if no one is micro-managing them?
I laughed out loud at that.
You are not a gangster if you need to be managed. Self driven! This must be for the street level G's, I am a friend ass man!
This is funny.. probably has to do with going back to the office
Yeah we didn’t get past the info call with recruiter. They are asking for hybrid and I’m not ready to go back into the office yet. 🤷🏼♀️
People have learned squat.
Maybe not layoffs yet, but maybe they're starting to miss quota?
How many is a bunch, btw?

It was a layoff, they just kept it under the radar. I think they did it last month or in late August (don’t remember exactly)
damn. what % of the workforce?
Idk, they did it so lowkey haha I know because I saw 2 posts about the layoff. I'd love to know the % too
seeing Gongsters with the #opentowork tag on LI referencing layoffs
'After being laid off so suddenly in august by my previous dream company,'

Interesting. I don't know any Gongsters, so I didn't see any of this.
Must have been juuuuust under that % where you have to report. Or a single underperforming division got cut.

Another Gong newsletter just hit my inbox.
https://news.crunchbase.com/startups/tech-layoffs-2022/ : I don't see Gong here though, I only saw onlyfans in here. Nevertheless.

Oh yeah did they have one, I forgot! Crazy how it didn’t make that much noise. A bunch of companies are good at keep it quiet I guess
I saw a bunch of people were either let go or resigned in either august or September
Interesting I had a call with a gong recruiter about 2 weeks and they were hiring. Bless that mess.
yeah--I would avoid any company that is 'actively hiring' after massive layoffs
I had applied and thought I could prove that I will drink their Kool-Aid by including the phrase "Gongster's Paradise" in my cover letter. I was swiftly rejected.
Did Gong know Coolie died for this?

They did a good job at keeping this under the radar as I am just learning about this now. Kudos gong
Shit got real, laid off and the reason is, "you make too much" I attained 366% on 28million number. Made presidents club and got promoted 5 months ago and laid in sept.
