This honestly shook our family as we were included in the 8%. We have been with them for over 17+ years and were treated very well throughout our time with them. I've read the news stories and the "public statements" so many times and we still can't figure out the why. The morning after the layoffs, they hosted a townhall assuring the lucky remainers that profits were up, and there was still security in their jobs. So again, we go back to the question of the why. We were mid-projects that needed to be handed off to contract workers, as our access was taken away almost immediately.

Our family has been with GoDaddy for over 17 years and both my husband and myself have personally loved working for the company. Our whole marriage, the birth of our children, we ere there and we are deeply rooted in the company and have been treated very well. Which I guess makes this that much harder honestly. The last few days have been tears of both fear and sadness that this is no longer a part of our life.

We were affected by this layoff, software engineering family over here.It seemed to be so random. It was people from so many different areas. We have beena GoDaddy family for over 17 years. This was a shock for sure
