Snowflake could learn something from Microsoft’s recent voluntary buyout of older workers.
Instead, they make up bogus performance issues with their ridiculous quarterly review process. Manager’s flat out lie in these reviews and HR refuses to investigate.
Instead of owning burnt sales territories and working on solutions for the field, they point fingers at individual performers. They allow management to flat out lie. Even support staff (solutions engineering) are not safe from these toxic tactics. Principal engineers with multiple years of excellence with the company are let go because of their age.
The real need to layoff is hidden… broken territories and toxic management.
