Until not much is left, I guess. One major restructuring with a clear idea might have had a chance. These endless, aimless cuts are just leading nowhere.

Worst Team Work
Stay away from this place. They have people in place to literally come in to fire people who are actually working. Texas market is the worst. It's the dingy box braid wigs for me. The reality is they hate people that look like them that really can do... — read more

Were you laid off? WARN Act
The WARN Act requires an employer to notify employees, in writing, 60 days before a layoff, and pay the employee for those 60 days, in addition to any severance the employee may be entitled to. Unfortunately, some employers attempt to circumvent the... — read more
Hiring recruiters
Can somebody please explain to me why is Peloton hiring recruiters after we lost so many people to cuts in the last year or so? I thought we had those cuts for a reason, so why would we start not only hiring but hiring people whose sole job is to... — read more
Number of employees
Before the cuts started, we had well over 8k employees. After the merciless cuts in the past months, do we know how many are left? I know more than half are gone, so that number is most likely not over 4k. My guess is it's even lower than that. Now... — read more

Fourth round of layoffs
Peloton is turning into a joke! Is there a race to see which company can have the most layoffs in one year that I don't know about? If there is, I guess we're the best at something! I'm so mad right now. How about we get rid of the entire leadership?... — read more

When will it be enough?

800 jobs to cut
Here comes the next round of job cuts this year. Terrible. I regret not leaving earlier. Does anyone have more detailed insights on who will be the targets this time? Also, do you think that the number of affected will exceed 800?

How is everybody doing on finding a new job?
I haven't had any luck yet, and I'm getting discouraged quickly. Any offer I get is low, much lower than what I used to make. I could deal with 10% or 20% less, but I'm being offered half of what I used to make. I'm still not desperate enough to... — read more

It's not just us
People are being laid off left and right in our industry. Just look at GoodLife Fitness, they got rid of nearly 500 employees. That's what worries me. So many companies laying off means that not many are hiring right now, which is not good news for... — read more

No sale is a good thing
I know some are disappointed that the new CEO is saying a sale is unlikely, but trust me, we dodged a bullet here! I think we'd have lost another 2-3k employees before it was all said and done (that's in addition to the current 2.8k). I'm going to... — read more
Things will not get better

This might be a stupid question

Little support for those who might be impacted by the layoffs
Terrible news from Peloton. Luckily I left recently, but I'm thinking about all former colleagues who will be impacted by layoffs. If it means anything to anyone, I thought I wouldn’t be able to find a new job for months, and then very soon after I... — read more
