Spiceworks let go 12% of their workforce today
-
Wow, just saw this news... but I'm not that surprised considering the activity over there had slowed to a trickle (and was often noob questions from people who have no business setting up systems). Plus the fact that they had been actively alienating their long time users. When my account got put into the moderation time out corner this last time, I stopped posting there altogether. If they cancel spiceworld, I better get my money back.
-
@RojoLoco I hear that! I got a little sick and tired of being chastised by their so called "moderators"....just long time users wielding power they should never have. I know I'm an abrasive S.O.B. but if you aren't in their little clique, expect that. Eye opening when I got to a certain spice level to see a closed forum where they talked shit about "lesser" spice level members. Sad.
-
I don't know if I have that private forum yet...
What level does that become accessible?
-
@DustinB3403 Thai...I think there are even more as you go up. Unconfirmed though.

Hrm so I must have it somewhere... I guess I've never noticed it.

This is what I have available to me.

Except I've gotten modded / chastised in their little private section because only certain members are allowed to talk smack. I am not one of them. I'm thinking about having a shirt made for spiceworld that says in large letters: Persona Non Grata.

The group is called "spicy peppers". You may have to search it since it is private.

This is not pinpointing anyone or anything just a friendly reminder. Let's not revel in the fact that they are having issues over there. I really feel horrible for those that lost jobs. The community has lost some great people it is sad to see how things have changed.
-
Yeah I don't seem to be able to find it, too bad.

You can only access it if you are Thai or higher.

It's not automatic. Nearly everyone gets it, but not all.

Let's go 12% + of their staff, and offers me $250 bucks.
Even if that was them and not a vendor promotion, they can't stop running the business. If the promotions made sense before, then they make sense now.
-
Well, that sucks. I hate to see companies do badly because it effects the staff so much. Especially since you lot have that horrendous medical insurance scam.
-
Hopefully, they can sort the issues out and get the company and products back in shape.

Once you get laid off you often get improved health care.

Well, that's nice but it's always easier to find a job when you have a job.
