A quick update... For all those laid off from Shopify that didn’t get the full 16 wks severance that is being offered to everyone else....
If you are still within 4-8 weeks of this layoff...
Consider filing a complaint with the employment act?
You should file... All of us in this group are technically of the same layoff and should be treated the same. If you are on a PIP, that's different.
If you are on a PIP, you are getting fu---d over more than those laid off and provided 16 weeks severance. My entire sales team was laid off after being placed on a PIP and we outperformed our non-PIP colleagues. Terminated with cause because they put us on the PIP first. I know 12 people in 4 different orgs that are on PIP ending this week. Most of them are motivated to continue but worried they will be fired regardless since the writing is on the wall.
