There Intuit, I fixed it for you. Most people have heard that Intuit has decided to lay off 1800 people. "It is never easy to say goodbye to our colleagues and friends and we are committed to treating everyone who has been impacted by these changes with the compassion and respect they deserve." OK, this makes sense. But then.... "We’ve significantly raised the bar on our expectations of employee performance, resulting in approximately 1,050 employees leaving the company who are not meeting expectations and who we believe will be more successful outside of Intuit." But my honest question that came that came from Ron Shevlin's post was why sneak this little passive aggressive comment into the post? There was absolutely no need to add that additional nugget. It added no context or value other than to say "we're laying off a ton of people but actually for some of them...it's their fault not ours so it's not so bad" Talk about walking into a trap of your own design. How does this get through marketing/legal/executive team without someone saying "maybe this isn't the smartest idea when dealing with people's livelihoods?" I mean how does this even get past a spouse or family member without someone bringing this up. And are we going to just gloss over the fact that they are moving the goal post mid-game so they can justify laying off more individuals to fix their balance sheet? How do company executives continually fail in their responsibilities yet somehow continually blame their employees for those failures? *sigh* the way brands continue to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to laying off their people is just mind boggling to me.

"There's no place like home" - indeed. Have you ever thought about going back to work for a former employer?? I've done it, twice, and it has paid off each time. It's been one month since I returned to the Intuit Israel family, and I couldn't be happier about my decision. ??? As I settle back into familiar routines, I can't help but reflect on my journey. During two years away, I gained invaluable experience, met talented individuals, and explored new areas, enriching my professional development. My returning to Intuit, was driven by the unique sense of belonging, celebrated collaboration, and impactful opportunities that align with my values. One of the things I value the most is the Intuit “Win Together” culture. Here, collaboration isn't just encouraged; it's celebrated. The emphasis on the "how" along with the "what" creates an environment where everyone can thrive and succeed together. Another aspect I value today even more than ever is the work with a top external tech stack, pushing limits and accessing cutting-edge technology. However, the? most rewarding part of returning is my pivotal role at the company and knowing my work significantly contributes to Intuit's success. If you are smiling right now it might be because that’s exactly what you’re looking for in a workplace, so I’ll take this opportunity to invite you to explore open roles on the Intuit career page: https://lnkd.in/dPaFMHdp Just a few days ago, I faced a technical challenge with my team. As they proposed solutions, I realized we needed a fundamental revisit of our Domain-Driven Design principles and ubiquitous language. This pivot allowed us to redefine our goals and achieve rapid alignment across different teams, sparking an impactful cross-company project.? This blend of familiarity and new challenges is enriching. It's great to be home where I know the culture and people, yet my fresh insights add value making this return a unique and rewarding journey. Here are some valuable insights I've gathered from my experience: 1. Leaving a company can provide you with fresh insights and experiences. When you return, you bring a wealth of new ideas that can be beneficial both for you and your employer. 2. Often, when you return to an organization, you're stepping into a more strategic role with greater impact. Your new skills and perspectives position you to contribute to the company in ways you might not have before. 3. Coming back means reconnecting with former colleagues and leveraging existing relationships to achieve professional goals. I want to thank everyone at Intuit for welcoming me back with open arms. Let's continue to power prosperity together and make a difference in the lives of millions!

Intuit recently laid off 1,800 employees, labelling most of them “underperformers” in their press release. It was an…interesting…tactic, and I have questions. Some things I like to think about when developing a comms strategy: - Who am I serving with this narrative? - How will this narrative resonate with my audiences - investors, customers and employees? - What will people learn about us as a company when they read this? - Are we being authentic? - Does this narrative embody our values? Did Intuit bother thinking through any of these things? Coming to you live from San Francisco with my thoughts.

?? ?????????????????????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ????????????! ?? It's hard to believe it's already been a month since I joined Intuit. Before making the switch, I sought insights from many who were already part of the Intuit family, and everyone handed out positive reviews. Fast forward to today, I'm a testament to the incredible work culture here. Here are a few highlights of my experience so far: 1. ???????????????? ?????? ?????????????????????? ???? ????????: The support and motivation from everyone around here is truly inspiring. Whether it’s a quick question or a complex problem, colleagues are always ready to lend a hand. It goes a long way in fostering a sense of belonging and assurance that there are people to help you out if you ever get stuck. 2. ?????????????????????? ??????????????????: There's a well-defined process for everything, ensuring efficiency and clarity in our work. From project management to daily tasks to queries about how a particular process works, the structured approach helps in achieving goals effectively without unnecessary hurdles. 3. ?????????????????????? ?????? ??????????????: At Intuit, we are encouraged to ask questions and voice our thoughts freely. No matter your role, your ideas are valued, and you’re expected to speak up, be brave, and offer your perspective in a discussion.

Looking forward to many more amazing months ahead! ? #Intuit #WorkCulture #OneMonthMilestone #CareerJourney #EmployeeBenefits #SoftwareEngineer

Have you ever wondered how you would be perceived if you asked for help at work? Would you be seen as weak, or could it impact your career progression? I read an interesting story about Brad Smith, the long-time CEO of Intuit. Brad rose from being an individual contributor to leading a division within Intuit. Against the advice of his team and others, he dedicated his time to rewriting the code of an application. Without seeking help, and after investing two and a half years, the project was eventually shut down, costing Intuit $40 million. In any typical organization, Brad would have been fired. However, something interesting happened. Intuit's founder, Scott Cook, and the board decided to support Brad and underscored the importance of asking for help. Brad was eventually promoted to CEO, where he became well-known for his humility and willingness to seek assistance. A good leader not only offers help but also asks for it. Asking for help reflects the organization's culture, leadership, and passion for success. On the contrary, if you ask for help and are not offered one, it leads to burnout and eventually forces the talented individual to leave the organization.

In 2020, Intuit laid off employees, claiming they were staying ahead of the COVID curve. Now, in 2024, they cite “underperformance” as the reason, aiming to appease Wall Street imo. The company I admire, Intuit, has laid off people who helped create the culture I valued. Cleansing talent twice in 4 years isn’t about performance; it’s about leadership style. Having worked with exceptionally talented individuals at Intuit, I urge those affected and prospective employers not to be misled by the underperformance narrative. Breaks my heart that anyone at Intuit is now replaceable—something that the company never stood for. To my affected Intuit friends, whether you need a listening ear, help with resumes or a referral at Clio - Cloud-Based Legal Technology, I’m here for you. I still believe we are #StrongerTogether!

As another day comes to an end for my colleagues, I am energized and humbled by the support pouring in from across the globe. Lay-offs done in an ethical, compassionate manner are perfectly normal and acceptable. The outrage sparked by Intuit’s words is deserved and was completely avoidable. Hubris, arrogance and entitlement took precedence over decency, compassion and values. After days of thought and lending voice to the injustice of Intuit’s actions, I am no closer to understanding how their behavior and messaging benefited anyone - including the company I used to be so proud to call my employer. I am on the backside of my life. The end is much closer than the beginning. As such, my passion on this matter is not because of any impact this might have on me. I honestly don’t care about that. I’m fine. But for those earlier in their lives - just starting to build their networks and reputations, new home owners, caring for young children and aging parents - or those later in their careers who can’t afford to retire but live in areas where jobs are scarce - they are the ones I raise my voice and fist for. I’ve been chatting with people from all over Intuit and my business network. They tell me how devastated and disgusted they are. Intuit employees say they feel that when people learn they work at Intuit others will wonder if they are one of them “less than.” Managers who didn’t realize that when they complied with instructions to change performance reviews on named employees weeks after they were submitted that they were being used to change employee records and dooming their colleagues jobs and to being labeled on the global stage as under performers when they actually were not. Those managers I’ve communicated with are guilt ridden that they did not stand up for their teams. And those are just the tip of the iceberg of the pain Intuit has caused with its senseless comments. As much as some may want me to shut up and let it go, I will keep this in the public consciousness. We cannot let Intuit sweep this under the rug while people struggle to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive marketplace that has been fed a tainted view of them. These people deserve better. Intuit must do better. I wish everyone a restful night. I hope we all find some sleep. For my part, after listening to struggles others are facing these last 4 days, I know whatever stressors I may have, they pale in comparison theirs. And I suspect tomorrow more will surface….. #intuit #intuitfailedemployees

I have never been so proud to have left a company as I am now. I took a risk taking a pay cut but found it necessary for my mental health and self esteem. I had a gaslighting manager who cared about administrative throughput rather than developer productivity. Seriously, if you made individual Jira tickets for clicking little switches on a config site and closed them out, you got more kudos than the engineer that made and setup the switches under a single ticket. There was a culture of productivity at all costs, championed by managers, reflected by menial metric collection. The resentment towards upper management was always there. It was kept at bay by some of my mentors; people who I admire and respect that taught me how to navigate corporate culture and keep my head down and work. I hope they are still there or are in a better company and position in their life; one where their freedom to speak their minds isn’t hampered by a looming work visa keeping them on their toes. Now, three companies later, I am on a core algorithm team writing some of the best code of my life. People that know me know I don’t like denigrating old employers and rarely do; even Intuit, despite what this post implies. Don’t get me wrong; I had good and fun times at Intuit. Those memories I’ll always hold dear and the skills I’ve learned are invaluable to my career. I have been laid off in a company before, but that was never as emotionally impacting as I’m seeing now. Now, I am the happiest I’ve been in my career thus far with a company that sets me and my coworkers up for success and discusses ideas, not people. Shame on you, Intuit. “We care and give back”, my ass.

Intuit announced this week that 1800 of their employees (approximately 10% of their workforce) were being laid off. The memo that was sent to all of their employees is below: https://lnkd.in/gtTgnW3w After reading it, I was left with many thoughts, questions and takeaways (like many others): ? if you are cutting your headcount by 1800 people to replace it with another 1800 with different skills and capabilities as part of a strategic investment- that's all you need to say. breaking down where those employees came from comes across less as transparent and more as unnecessary context that could hurt people. Don't forget about the employee experience, even as people are exiting. ? how much of a talent analysis was done to see if any of these existing employees could be reskilled or upskilled for new roles before laying them off and recruiting externally? in my experience, people prefer to press the 'easy button' versus doing the hard work to find out ? of all the employees impacted that were highlighted, my biggest issue was calling out 1050 employees that were 'under-performing'. my biggest question was 'why?'. these folks are about to go into an unpredictable job market and you are painting a scarlet letter on them. again, if this is a strategic investment and you don't have the skills in-house, leave it at that. don't go down the path of making it sound like a Jack Welch style cut of the "bottom 10 percent". mixed messaging anyone? ? not all managers are made equal- some kick ass and some couldn't care less about managing people. however, they are making these critical decisions and people could be leaving as a result of their mismanagement, lack of clear expectations, bias or variety of other factors (for more on this point, check out my friend Hebba Youssef's post about this and the Intuit departures) ? with DEI being something that I never forget about, I'm curious how much of a focus it was and what their adverse impact looked like. I hope it was taken into consideration so that they continue to create an environment of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. lastly, I just want to say that my heart goes out to all of the impacted employees (and those that are remaining that have survivor's guilt). I hope Intuit are considering employees that are leaving and remain when it comes to support in the coming weeks and months. #layoffs #employeeexperience #leadership #humanresources #careers
