Thread regarding Five9 Inc. layoffs

I know 3 people who have left just this week

Are we hiring backfills? These people work on AI. They work with customers. They manage people. People are pulling 10 hour work days.

As we're constrained for CX Summit, we're simultaneously betraying our core contact center customers. We want to operate like a startup but don't hire like startups do: more designers, engineers, managers in the US.

Is leadership even aware?

They don't work on AI. They work on LLM wrappers that an undergrad could build faster and better.

@116+1k5jcrj14 I read somewhere here that if a post breaks the site rules in some way or another it ends up getting deleted. Not sure though.

@w8 Very strange. Its not like the erased comments were very sensitive. Someone is censoring

Who cares, get a new job before you end up on the next layoff list.
