When growth fails under Mike G, ‘follow the sun’ becomes a slogan not a solution.”

I’ll sum the email up for you quickly: “You American employees are too expensive and we need to make the stock price go up, we’re going to be spending the next 24 months laying off as many of you as possible to be replaced with AI and/or cheap India... — read more 

Layoffs are coming. The vagueness of the email is beyond frustrating. The timeline is beyond confusing as well… 24 months? Anyone have insider knowledge about which teams/departments?

Numerous UK newspapers picking this one up over the weekend, including The Times, The Daily Mail, and others. No doubt their risk exposure / scrutiny with the regulators will increase as they continue to offshore UK and USA product roles and... — read more 

Title says it all. There’s some really strange restructuring that’s making very little sense. Poor customer retention this year. Internal and external auditors evaluating engineers specifically, that I’ve heard of. Lots of resources being directed... — read more 

I notice that some I work with regularly just randomly disappear daily. The ones remaining are ones that have a ton of product and technical knowledge for BB, so much that it isn't going to be easy to replace them, and they work very hard. Are they... — read more

It’s clear we’re heading downhill onshore. I’ve more or less come to terms with the high likelihood that I’ll be out of a job soon. If only the job market weren’t this rough.

I used to believe it was about performance. Now I’m not so sure. Some people who barely worked got cut, sure, but I’ve also watched top performers get pushed out. It feels random. Or worse.

It’s obvious there will be more layoffs. I hope to have another job lined up when the next round happens.

I know the layoffs are done for now, but I still have this knot in my stomach like I am just waiting for the next bad thing to hit. It cannot be good for me, but here I am anyway. How are we supposed to feel safe, even for a little while, when... — read more 

They posted a ton of jobs in India the same day they made a RIF in the US. How many more times will this happen? How big will India get? Will it just end up being the ELT in the US and a few directors and everyone else in India?

In the most recent RIFs they at least emailed within 24 hours or so of the day it happened. Feels weird an unknown amount of our colleagues were just laid off (unsure of impact but it sounds like a lot) and not a peep. I wonder if they're... — read more 

Read the writing on the wall, there's a huge reason why they are pushing for India hiring and it's not because we'll all be one big happy family. It's to reduce the biggest expense to a business, payroll. Because we aren't organically growing... — read more 

I hope you all land on your feet soon. For those who survive this round — stay prepared. I believe we may see more layoffs in the near future.

Email, phone call, 1:1?

It’s about to get even even worse for everyone.

Almost got hoted here. Offer was rescinded last minute due to strategic realignment. Sounds like things getting bad. Bullet dodged. #Thankful BTW interview switched from improving things to how to reduce costs after I asked some lucky questions... — read more 

Damn that Clearlake offer looks good now. Bonus and ltip get less valuable by the day. Time to polish up that resume.

None of my colleagues been around long enough to know. I have only been at the company since 2020 so I am missing a lot of the legacy years and information. I've read old some old comments from customers and it sounds like years ago RENXT basically... — read more

Stock took a hit because investors see right through the ELTs plans. Layoffs are guaranteed this year and next year, just wait until India is fully hired and trained up. They won't layoff until that is complete as it will throw a wrench in those... — read more 

Couple of reasons: India and all of the accelerated hiring that started in the final half of 2024. Also name a single company that mass hired in India and DIDN'T have layoffs later on? Don't think you can. No layoff in awhile when... — read more 

Glad to see that the ELT is taking responsibility for a bad acquisition. A ‘nominal amount’ of accountability would go a long way

I’ve noticed an uptick in “Open to work” posts by Blackbaud employees within the last week and one employee said their role was reduced…anyone know what’s going on?

Hearing rumblings of another round of layoffs affecting some engineering and product folx today. Not sure of the scope yet, hope it's minimal.

Not sure who in ELT cooked up that idea

I’m scared, it was a pretty small miss, right? I was expecting more

I wonder if it will really happen this time?

Rumors are intensifying about layoffs before the end of the month. Any chance somebody here knows more about it?

What do we think here? 2 rounds of layoffs in a row is usually brutal, could they be sc-mmy enough to do a 3rd?
