Procurify Response
2yWe’re definitely on the same page about Aman - he is amazing!! Literally the light of the Procurify world. I think that’s where our alignment ends though, unfortunately. I’d love to take the opportunity to give a little context into some of your comments.
Procurify hasn’t done any RIFs or layoffs of any kind, in fact we’ve grown in size and continue to do so. You are correct in that people have been let go. Performance management is hard, but absolutely imperative for a company to succeed. The need to have specific skills and behaviours present in specific roles to create a reliable delivery of results is not easy. The people who were let go were not in the right roles, and/or were not able to meet performance expectations. It's a reality of running a business that none of us particularly like - so we strive to be as transparent throughout the process as possible, be compassionate with feedback and options available… but like I said, performance management is hard. There’s no doubt that we haven’t done everything perfectly - but we can say with total sincerity that we’re trying our best and are learning every day.
I hear that we have things to improve - communication, alignment, and so much more! We’re a remote tech company in scale-up mode. If this was easy every company would succeed. This is why we need and wildly value people who thrive with problem solving, giving feedback even when it's tough, and are capable of holding themselves and each other accountable (without playing the blame game) – all to keep pushing us forward and get better every day.
I’m sorry if your experience here didn’t track to this, and you’re always welcome to reach out to Aman or the People team if you’d like to talk through anything in more detail. Feedback is always appreciated, so thank you for that as well.
