They have been targeting employees to leave by pushing them by asking them to come to office even when sick or to please the CEO. Already 30-40 core people have left and now fired the rest.

This company culture is worst. There were total approx 150 employee. Due to bad culture 30 people already put papers. And now this 20%. Founders always says they have 4 years of runway.

Layoffs at Velocity

Not surprised. They have a shitty model. Probably going to shut this FY or next unless they turn things around 180 degrees and fast. Similar case for others they've mentioned in the article as their competition.
