- There’s been a noticeable erosion of diversity across the organization.
Systematic layoffs have disproportionately affected women and people of color—through reduced scope, the assignment of the most challenging tasks, and structuring roles to appear redundant—suggesting these outcomes were premeditated.
- Executive leadership seems focused solely on short-term profitability by cutting resources and overworking remaining employees, often lacking transparency.
