          @kevinrns thanks! I’m frankly still in shock and not quite ready to get into the interview slog just yet. When I’m ready I’ll post a real one with hashtags, etc.

                @ksylor 😞 sorry to hear. We are looking for a frontend/web performance engineer at embrace.io (and SpeedCurve) - if sounds interesting email my name@embrace.io and I'll make sure the right person sees you. PS. I'm a fellow geek and not a recruiter 🙂

                          @ksylor I’m so sorry, that sucks! Might be below your pay/title grade, but there’s an amazing group of FE folks at the Frame.io unit of Adobe and they’re hiring if it helps! https://careers.adobe.com/us/en/job/R165316/Senior-Frontend-Engineer

                            @revin @ksylor @drewpickard Wuuuuuuut. Using that metric to identify “low performers” is the most bonkers amateur smooth brain thing I can think of. Oh my.

                                @drewpickard yeah the “small” one was because they suddenly instituted minimum PR count numbers *during calibration* and increased the required percentage of “below meets” to be like, 15%% instead of 7%, and then fired everyone in below because they were a “low performer”. So we all thought we were done & safe for a bit, but nope.

                                @ksylor @drewpickard has this just been happening everywhere? we also had minimum PR count quotas instituted a few weeks ago in the middle of reviews and basically was downgraded because of it...
