Misleading Communication Around Layoffs

Pros

- Great mission - Great people to work with - Free lunch on office days

Cons

Lack of transparency: The CEO repeatedly assured employees in company-wide meetings that the company was financially healthy, even mentioning that a competitor was planning layoffs while we were in a strong position. However, shortly after, the company unexpectedly announced its own layoffs. This disconnect between leadership's messaging and actions severely impacted trust within the organization.

Hi there, we have not done any layoffs since 2020 during Covid. We did make some adjustments to staffing levels within different teams to rebalance against our goals for the year, as we do all of the time. Sometimes this means saying bye to good performers on the team, which is unfortunate, but it's generally pretty limited in scope as we make changes. However, we make these changes so that we can maximize our impact every year helping local businesses. We are currently hiring as a company across a variety of roles.

Pros

Homebase is full of talented, smart, kind people who are united in their mission to support small businesses and their employees. Customers love the product which makes it really fun to visit them in your neighborhood and anywhere that you travel. Homebase continues to innovate and add features, which has led to continued growth and relative stability in a market where many other tech companies are struggling.

Cons

Homebase runs lean teams, which is a big part of why they have been successful (no layoffs and continued growth), while other companies have struggled. It is great to be on a winning team, but workloads can be exhausting at times.
