Thread regarding Goosehead Insurance layoffs

Wave 1 complete

Goosehead started the first wave of layoffs on Monday. They claim “poor performance” but most of the people they laid off were far from that. Very very good people.

They had a bad quarter. CEO sold a sh-t ton of stock (6MILL) and then took a 300MILL loan to pay out a crummy $5 dividends. And now next quarter they have to pay the piper.

Oh, and they also covered up a major data breach and lied to all of us that it was a “technical difficulty” on why we couldn’t hook up our laptops to the network. Any leader caught talking about it would be fired and if they hear anyone talking about it, they had to remind them of what their jobs were and to mind their own business. If they were caught again, fired. 300GB of data was breached. Gooogle it. It’s already released.

Wonder if MJ knows how badly this company has took a turn for the worse since he’s stepped down.

I think y'all left out how David went over 1M over budget. So here's breakfast and lunch for 3 months and by the way we're gonna lay you off. I will say I was told by someone, I can't remember who, that GH is very overstaffed. I don't know what to believe at this point.

Is that why they wanted to put me on a coaching for taking 6 mins over my 30 in the restroom?

Can confirm. Awful place to work at. Very toxic and developers are against developers. PM’s are against PM’s. Everyone is against everyone and will rat on you any chance they get. It’s crazy here.
