Stavvy leadership is inexperienced in running a saas business and it shows. There are too many people in figurehead roles where it is unclear what they do or the value they bring. It feels like leadership has little connection to those on the ground. The product direction is unfocused and disorganized. Whilst the tech is relatively up-to-date, it is a mess. Another round of layoffs just occurred targeting “low performers.” This is contradictory as some talented coworkers with tribal knowledge were let go, whilst much less capable but connected people remain. It smells like nepotism or favoritism. Even if the powers that be were pressured to pick some arbitrary number of people to layoff, it seems like those without special association to the people with influence are not safe. This is demoralizing and does not inspire confidence. Morale and trust are at an all time low.
