After a few weeks of an economic downturn and a bit of profit loss, Rover decided to let go 41% of their employees. 9% were left on standby in a state of confusion. The CSuite chose to listen to Periscope dashboards vs. listening to their employees and their suggestions. Rover also chose to give minimal severance during a time of crisis and simply "wished us all the best on future endeavors".
Two weeks prior to the mass execution, Rover had claimed that the business was in a good place financially and that we are all going to be able to make it through the COVID-19 crisis. Only two weeks later (today), they decided to lay off nearly 200 employees via a Google Live Stream.
In no way would we (our collective group) recommend trusting the senior leadership at this company. And we would also not trust them in taking care of your dog. If they can't take care of people, why would you trust them to take care of their pet?
