Thread regarding Blackbaud Inc. layoffs

My manager informed me to be prepared for tomorrow

After several hours of trying to figure out my situation, and finding this site, I decided to post here.

My manager informed me that I would be meeting with his manager on Wednesday to be informed that I will be let go due to the shift to India. He said there was several staff in this small team that would be let go. I'm still reeling from this. I know the writing has been on the wall since Mike's announcement, but it hit super hard today.

I don't have a meeting scheduled with this person for tomorrow, and don't have a good relationship with this director. He is an a-s. However, all my reviews are very positive. How can this happen ?

I guess my manager has trust in me and it is not in his control, but WTF, my reviews are excellent, and the India team has no clue what I do as there is no principal engineers.

Layoffs are definitely already occurring. Kevin confirmed this in the PTG all hands on Tuesday.

@1e8 I haven't heard anything from any co-workers. It might have happened but I think it's more likely this person is lying or was fired instead of being laid off.

Either way doesn't matter too much. Leadership has explicitly been telling us that there will be lay offs and it doesn't matter if you are a good employee or not.

Just reading this on 2/25. Did it happen? Didn’t hear about any layoffs today. If they’re doing it, it’s being done very quietly. The sleazy way they like to do it.

Rumors of a union and a surprise announcement where all employees are welcome is coming soon?

Emergency strike will called unannounced until the CEO and ELT resign and people‘s futures are safe.

Please we need everyone to join the strike and fight back

@d7 That statement of the 8-10 million was pretty misunderstood. It may be for some severance but it also is the line item for india hiring, costs of executive travel to india, etc

@d4 wow, sorry to hear that, no severance is shocking. That is unusual, even for BB.

You say terminated and that is slightly different than being laid off, technically speaking.

@d0 That makes sense. That’s probably one of the reasons they moved the PTG meeting back to March to inform the remaining PTG staff about layoffs and other updates.

Based on the OP’s post and the rumor mill from colleagues today, it really does feel like nearly all US based PTG engineers will be laid off at some point within the next two years.

@d4 I thought they said in the last earnings call the were anticipating 8-10million for severance this year. So unfair. At a loss for words. Good luck.

@ck wait, so it’s confirmed there are layoffs going on right now? Is it small scale? Things are oddly quiet today….

Some people are having discussions with their manager today. Please, let's all be considerate with our comments and be sensitive to these coworkers.

Doesn't sound like a troll post.

Managers were not informed when previous layoffs occurred.
There is too much information posted by OP that it could be a troll.
