To say "cut off workers didn't meet bar" clearly, not as a coward to say "business decision". In my 20y experience, all the managers that I know are trained to say "business decision" just to avoid issues, but 95% of the time, it's performance issue, or they don't see enough value from what they pay you.
High performer here, impacted by the Intuit layoffs. Seems like remote workers were top of the list. I was offered relocation.
That's because Intuit loves to screw over the people they fired. If the reason was "business decision", then it doesn't leave bad marks on the laid-off employees' profiles. But now, these people will struggle to find new jobs because Intuit has declared that they are "weak performers"
Why will they struggle to find jobs?
@Koch, did you even read the comment before replying
Who cares, OP your not elite like you think you are
Who said I am elite? The point is I value people speaking truth, not bullshit reasoning. And I like them to say the same thing in public and behind back. I have seen too many people say "nice reasoning" in public but "bad performer" behind back.
Oh sure. Making a blind post means you think you're elite. Making a comment on an elite blind post means you think you're an emperor. Responding to a imperial comment means you're a god! You may worship me!
Was taken aback by that statement too. they ran the quote in WSJ and that article was above the fold on the business section. I left last year and was remote so Iâd almost have certainly been included in the layoffs. My dad reads WSJ start to finish so Iâd have been completely embarrassed and ashamed had I stayed and been let go.
Theyâre just saying the quiet part out loud. The real question is how they determined that those laid off didnât meet the bar. In any case, not meeting the bar at Intuit probably is exceeding at any other company, so this layoff is a blessing.

If 10% of your employees are not meeting the bar then the hiring process is broken. That means 1 out of 10 employees hired is a bad hire, that's a very high false positive rate.
They said they raised up the bar. The bar in 2022 was the lowest in history.
Agreed but doesnât bar apply also to leadership
lol Intuit is one more shitty company where managers doesnât do any work nor they know any work . Just doing politics . So many managers can be fired because they are good at doing politics . Lot of them are in top positions doing nothing .
One hundred percent!
Just when I genuinely didnât think Intuit could be any worse.
Intuit and Google have fallen from the best employers to the worst. I personally know folks at Intuit who are the best but impacted due to bs reasons since the company had some quota to meet. Sad day.

Well thats bad for laid off employees , companies wouldnât want hire them if employees are laid off due to performance reasons
It depends, if they have domain knowledge fit or ask much less TC or good at interviews, there would still be demands. But some people they just couldn't survive in any companies ďźget laid off) for more than 2 years but they are good at interviews. Usually I would avoid those hoppers.
Why do you want to make job hunting hard for folks, whom you already screwed over with lay off . Makes no sense
