Everyone got an email saying what was happening and whether or not they were impacted. I was. I was given access to slack to say farewells for a few hours. I had a quick meeting with my senior manager. Then all access was cut and my personal email got all the needed details on what&amp;#x27;s next.&lt;p&gt;It sucked, but it was pretty humane.&lt;p&gt;But...&lt;p&gt;There was a leak two days before that it was coming. The dread of knowing you might be laid off is worse than being laid off. And everyone had it for 48 hours. It was brutal and the company ground to a halt.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m not mad at the leaker. They probably felt it was better that people know. But I don&amp;#x27;t think they were right.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t think telling investors about the layoff before the people being laid off is right. But I also don&amp;#x27;t think dragging it out for many days or weeks is healthy for anyone.</text></comment>

The recent Terraform Cloud pricing changes are not going in the right direction, please hire folks who understand how to price and capture value for your customers appropriately.</text></comment>
