Thread regarding Alteryx layoffs

OP, the upper-level engineers didn't have access to the code until AFTER the acquisition was completed and had zero knowledge of it until it was announced. This was not how previous acquisitions had worked.

You have to understand, at the time there wasn't even a CTO in place and there was no one in Engineering who had a seat at the table at the time. The lack of due diligence of Scamfecta has nothing to do with Engineering.

For some perspective, there are a lot of things that happen at the VP level out of the blue, and everyone under them, including Sr Dir, Dir, managers, etc, have to clean up and yet have zero input or involvement in.

Point your rage to that level; anyone below that is just dealing with the fallout of the whim of VPs. As long as they are competent and not like narcissistic future VP types, they are trying to do their best for the people below them.

Living in a conservative state where doctors are more likely to prescribe prayer than pills, I've been handed Propanolol and other beta-blockers.

Propranolol can help calm the nerves and improve focus during presentations. While it might cause headaches for some, it often helps people feel more relaxed and confident.

I'm green with envy over those of you who get the real deal medications.

I got someone on my team who is on heavy dosage of Klonopin

Looks like we've got a benzo crew here. I'm jealous, my team are just a bunch of alkies.

It's telling, though, that people all medicating with anxiolytics just to cope with working at Alteryx.

Alteryx upper-level engineers would be the scientists who are absolute sh-t at their craft who pretend to be "academic".

Also represents the effort it takes to go against the "world-class engineering" think-tank.

It's no wonder they acquired ScamFecta without due diligence. They had no faith in their local engineering talent to evaluate the technology.
