I do not know anyone who is not looking for a way out of here. What is the future of this place anyway?

It's "woe."
Rob treated everything like it was business as usual while the company’s stock continued to tank. He got a beefy payout as a reward.
Don’t blame the interim CEO for this.
It was a horrible workplace for years. If laid off, consider it a good thing!
The outlook doesn't look good. Rob must have seen all this coming, wanted to cash out and leave before layoffs to make his resume look good. Why else would we be getting so little information on the future of Coupa throughout all of this? There's been way too much fake positivity amid this challenging time. Can't be sure what Thoma Bravo wants to do with Coupa, but the instructions to operate as normal amid such silence and management exodus seems to only point toward layoffs just around the corner. Charles Goodman is just the fall guy to blame all the layoffs on so that afterward the remaining management can claim innocence to the remaining employees. But there's been a lot of damaged morale already, so they're going to struggle to regain it after layoffs with the way they've been treating people. That could severely impact the near-term future of the Coupa product, not to mention how fast the entire internal culture has seemingly shifted.
Keep drinking kool-aid but don't complain later online about whoa is me, I do not have a job
