All hands call today called at 2:07 Pm to jump on an all hands call at 4pm via zoom. Then zoom meeting was full, only 100 members can be on the meeting at a time. Had to hear from my colleague all "Field Sales" in all 25 markets were let go. It took them 5 minutes and our email was disabled. Severance is 2 weeks pay.
In my Chicago Market, that is a loss of 9 reps, a dedicated Sales Manager.
Sorry that you were all laid off. Madrivo.com is looking for Sales people, Marketing Director and a Sales Director. Please reach out if interested.
So somewhere around 160 people were abruptly laid off completely eliminating the field sales force at Web.com on Thursday October 11th 2018. This sudden and ruthless layoff has left not only hundreds of employees and their families scrambling with the holiday season rapidly approaching but has also left hundreds of business owners scratching their heads with nowhere to go having just signed and paid for services without anyone to reach out to on the local level that they were promised. This is just another example of a mismanaged business by leadership having not a clue as to how to operate a profitable business. Poor products, lack of products and creativity combined with leaders that emulated failed yellow page business practices were the direct cause of this shut down. Good luck to a group of some of the hardest working sales people and consultants in the industry. Too bad they trusted Web.com leadership with their livelihood and careers.
As a fellow former Web.com employee as of today the info is correct. After a company the preached family life and community and commitment it showed no real compassion or tact in letting a whole division out on their a-- with no warning. Shame on you owner and CEO David Brown and all involved in this. 🖕
