What does BD do of this scale without a detailed ‘plan’? This shows how reactive they were to the outside investor going public and basically calling out leadership for mismanagement. They fully capitulated and never made mention of the actual reason why.
No updates. Leadership keeps telling us to carry on as usual. No signs of a hiring freeze that I can see… just waiting and hoping something happens soon. Really hoping to hold out for a severance package but probably will be a while before any movement happens
