Worst Team Work

Stay away from this place. They have people in place to literally come in to fire people who are actually working. Texas market is the worst. It's the dingy box braid wigs for me. The reality is they hate people that look like them that really can do... — read more

Were you laid off? WARN Act

The WARN Act requires an employer to notify employees, in writing, 60 days before a layoff, and pay the employee for those 60 days, in addition to any severance the employee may be entitled to. Unfortunately, some employers attempt to circumvent the... — read more

Hiring recruiters

Can somebody please explain to me why is Peloton hiring recruiters after we lost so many people to cuts in the last year or so? I thought we had those cuts for a reason, so why would we start not only hiring but hiring people whose sole job is to... — read more

Number of employees

Before the cuts started, we had well over 8k employees. After the merciless cuts in the past months, do we know how many are left? I know more than half are gone, so that number is most likely not over 4k. My guess is it's even lower than that. Now... — read more

Fourth round of layoffs

Peloton is turning into a joke! Is there a race to see which company can have the most layoffs in one year that I don't know about? If there is, I guess we're the best at something! I'm so mad right now. How about we get rid of the entire leadership?... — read more

When will it be enough?

Are we ever going to come to a point where we'll have job security once again? Or if not job security, where we'll know that we're safe for the next year, at least? Having nonstop layoffs that are getting rid of a significant portion of the workforce... — read more

800 jobs to cut

Here comes the next round of job cuts this year. Terrible. I regret not leaving earlier. Does anyone have more detailed insights on who will be the targets this time? Also, do you think that the number of affected will exceed 800?

How is everybody doing on finding a new job?

I haven't had any luck yet, and I'm getting discouraged quickly. Any offer I get is low, much lower than what I used to make. I could deal with 10% or 20% less, but I'm being offered half of what I used to make. I'm still not desperate enough to... — read more

It's not just us

People are being laid off left and right in our industry. Just look at GoodLife Fitness, they got rid of nearly 500 employees. That's what worries me. So many companies laying off means that not many are hiring right now, which is not good news for... — read more

No sale is a good thing

I know some are disappointed that the new CEO is saying a sale is unlikely, but trust me, we dodged a bullet here! I think we'd have lost another 2-3k employees before it was all said and done (that's in addition to the current 2.8k). I'm going to... — read more

Things will not get better

Don't expect things to magically turn for the better. If you're smart, you'll start looking for a new job right now. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's going to be ten times easier for you to find a new job while you already have one. There's... — read more

This might be a stupid question

but did all 2,800 people who are part of the layoffs round get their notifications already? Everybody who's been affected already knows he or she is affected, right? I don't work for Peloton but my brother does and he's been in a lousy mood lately... — read more 

I think this belongs here

I'm one of 2,800 people Peloton just laid off. It felt sudden, cold, and scripted — and I'm still in shock. A leading-edge research firm focused on digital transformation. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with a Peloton employee... — read more

Little support for those who might be impacted by the layoffs

Terrible news from Peloton. Luckily I left recently, but I'm thinking about all former colleagues who will be impacted by layoffs. If it means anything to anyone, I thought I wouldn’t be able to find a new job for months, and then very soon after I... — read more

Hey guys, if you are good, you will find a nice job in a heartbeat. Don't feel bad. This was just a job and nothing more. Look for the next one, get your package and stock and start next chapter. It will be good.
