Intuit to lay off 1,800 employees, labels 1,050 as 'underperformers' (fastcompany.com)

Its one thing to lay-off employees, I understand executives not wanting to take responsibility of the problems they created, human selfish behaviour and such.

Its a whole another thing to kick those workers when they are down. Imagine trying to find a job in this difficult tech market and being labelled as an underperformer! That's just plain evil !

Not sure if its possible, but I hope this turns into a defamation class action lawsuit by the former employees against Intuit.


If this were actually true, the real under performers would be the executive team which should be replaced immediately.


anyone and everyone can be an underperformer - it's all relative


how do you own and service mailchimp, quickbooks, creditkarma, and turbotax, all built and maintained by underperformers?

now they have Intuit Assist an AI powered financial software.

at this rate they are probably underperforming for good reason.


Intuit is a scumbag company. It's unsurprising when they say and do scumbag things.
