Zoom is lying about layoffs by doing aggressive and false PIPs rather than saying "layoff"
Pros
Zoom used to be the absolute best. Sad...
Cons
Zoom used to be the greatest company to work for. Zoom even won multiple "Best Places to Work" and "Best CEO" awards in the past. Now, Zoom honestly doesn't seem to care about any of its employees. Eric Yuan doesn't even seem happy anymore. His All-Hands meetings seem robotic and required, rather than energetic and emotional. Sales is an absolute mess. You have new Sales Managers who come in and blatantly lie to their reps, and encourage them to quit whenever they hit at any concerns or voice issues. They are more concerned about loyalties to their managers and careers than caring even slightly about their team or doing the right thing. You have Small Business AE's who sell Major's size accounts that are wildly out of segment, and then that rep gets praise and President's Club, while other reps who have had their territories 3 times in a year are told they don't work hard enough. When brought up to leadership, they tell you to stop complaining. They continue to tell us we won't be doing more layoffs, but then secretly, what you hear instead is that many people are being put on incredibly aggressive and unattainable PIPs so that they can justify firing people for "bad performance" rather than saying they are doing more layoffs. When asked about this during company all-hands or meetings, they brush it off or ignore the question altogether. Zoom used to be a rocket ship but leadership (the remaining ones as the good ones seem to all be leaving or have already left) is making this rocket fall not just back to earth, but into the deep ocean.
