Thread regarding Blackbaud Inc. layoffs

The leadership seems clueless

This is just my perception of course, but this leadership really seems to have lost its direction. Does anyone here trust that they have a vision and concrete plan for the future of this company?

They’re not clueless at all, they are busy achieving goals that serve the shareholders, investors, and themselves. They have one goal: to hit the rule of 40 so they can sell, their stocks immediately vest and cash out, and leave the buyer to clean up the (profitable) mess they left. Euthanize it? Sell it for parts? Doesn’t matter to the yacht club.

At what point do we start to question whether it’s worth it to work for a public company? Once you’re public, there is only one focus - stock price. No long term planning or concern for employees, just buy-backs and scaffolding to hold up the price.

I agree too. Keep enough worker bees until they cash out one final time after extracting untold (and undeserved) millions off the backs of non-profits and underpaid workers. This is while they approved buying terrible companies, lowering the value of the company for all shareholders, and spendings millions on a breach. The fact no ELT member has faced any consequences is maddening. They have only gotten richer! I’m so angry still, and have sent out five resumes so far this week. Stay angry folks. See what these a--holes are doing to you, your family, and your career. They won’t care because they got paid millions, and you got a sh-t sandwich.

They are not clueless they are greedy fu-s who cashed in $12m on the same day they cut staff.

I think the goal is to just get purchased at this point.
