This response reminds me of a company in the cannabis software space where recently the engineers put together a letter essentially saying they were not happy with the work environment, that the company was focused on the wrong things and that the CTO was not doing a good job. It was signed by 10 out of 12 engineers I think. They got no response. 2 weeks later they had layoffs and got rid of every engineer that signed the letter. I think they have 2 engineers left. This happened a few weeks ago. This is the second time the engineers have expressed something like this, the last time, every Sr. engineer just quit in a ~6 month period (7 total I think).
