Zoho skipping appraisals to avoid layoffs sparks debate over founder's employee treatment
kingslyj · x · 2026-10-15
A debate around Zoho's no-layoff stance: an ex-engineer argues the company deserves respect for skipping performance appraisals to protect jobs while other tech firms treat mass layoffs as routine, but another commenter counters that a billionaire who kept his profitable company private for 30+ years, pays low wages, and offers no stock options or profit sharing hardly 'cares' about employees. The thread highlights tech-industry disagreement over welfare-vs-equity narratives.
