HubSpot Response
2yHi there, this is slightly awkward, but think it's important to address this one head on. The layoffs were a low point for HubSpot's culture, no question or debate about that. And, I think we've spoken pretty honestly about the fact that this year we are really reinvesting in employees and our culture because it's critically important to the company and to our success long-term, so no argument there. With that said, there will still be changes made within teams throughout the year based on their org design and business needs, and I get that that's really hard for people to stomach, but it's a reality of how we'll operate at scale. As for me and anyone else on my team, I wasn't asked to leave--I am taking time off to recharge and excited to hand the reigns to a leader who will help create the next chapter for HubSpot's culture alongside the leaders within my team. I think the combination of new expertise and internal knowledge will do great things for HubSpot, and I'm excited to see what they do together. Sorry that you feel disappointed by our leadership--I'm hopeful the investments this year will change your point of view here. -Katie
