Some people can’t deal with 2 years of uncertainty, and 4 months is a decent amount of time if you use it wisely. No need to reveal your role or anything. I’m not, but 2 on my team are and that’s going to be concerning for me if they get... — read more 

Is this email being sent to everyone in the U.S ? Or it was sent only to a specific group/class of people? I understand that some employees may want to keep this to themselves, if he/she received the email.

I’m sorry but does BB leadership really think making the severance 4 months instead of 2 months is a big carrot? Not too mention, it’s obvious that an employee’s term of employment doesn’t factor into anything. Whether you’ve been there 1 year, 10... — read more 

Mike Gianoni said. "As we have in the past, we will support impacted team members, we'll provide an enhanced severance program and career transition assistance". Nothing there is true. You get 2.5 days per year instead of the standard 1 week or 2... — read more 

I asked someone at the sc aquarium if their blackbaud payment software works well and he said it breaks when they need it most. Make sure to keep working hard though. Do good. More like do bad worse. All to line the pockets of Mike G.

This feels like a textbook example of people believing their own narrative. Instead of meaningful transparency or honest discussion, it’s filled with self-congratulation and carefully crafted talking points. There’s very little substantive... — read more 

How is that even possible with all the ** happening here?

Heads up

There’s speculation surrounding Mike‘s future at Blackbaud as the stock price tanks. It‘s very possible an announcement is made on his future Autumn 2026, with an eventual departure in 2027, until a replacement is found.

Got termed despite 3+ years of good performance, two promotions over the years.  In an effort to "be transparent" I openly shared my concerns with the strategic direction of the company and decision making by senior leadership.  Yes I also shared... — read more

I’m still pretty angry, honestly. Looking back on all the BS we’ve been expected to tolerate over the years, shame on me for believing accountability would ever exist at the top. Remember the data breach? The ELT lied to investors, employees, and... — read more 

There was a time when people wanted to work here. When we were proud to say where we did our jobs. That time has passed, and I don't think it's coming back.

Word is a lot of employees are getting surprise off track reviews for Q1. Any truth?

You only have yourself to blame. Are you addicted to misery? The job market is horrendous. You are about to join this job market involuntarily. It‘s time to start leaving, and finding your next role. Do NOT let these parasites keep squeezing you... — read more

We're certain it's done, right?

If you survived, I recommend using your PTO now if you haven’t already. Policies vary by state, but unused PTO will most likely not be paid out.

Anyone factually know of the enhanced severance details? I know someone who was laid off a year or so ago and after 12 years they got one months pay and silently finished there two weeks. I hope it’s better than 1 week a year and some bogus... — read more 

I'd rather take a package than have to go through this over and over again. I'm being very serious. This place used to have job security. What happened to that?

Shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but this seems to be a deeper one.

Years of poor mergers, awful stock performance, and a massive data breach have left the company weaker, less trusted, and increasingly irrelevant. Instead of owning these failures and investing in real product improvement, leadership has done almost... — read more

A U.S. software engineer costs 3–6× more than an equivalent engineer in India, with the gap largest at junior levels (5–6×) and narrower for seniors (3–4×). Senior roles are often cut first for maximum savings, followed by juniors, then managers once... — read more 

On the call with Kevin today, they said the layoffs have already started. Has anyone on here been hit yet that can speak to what the severance packets look like?

Regarding Kevin's meeting and the effort he's making for employees. Kevin just sold $1,000,000 worth of stock. Do not trust them. They are trying to keep you productive up until they can discard you.

Did we hit our targets, and will that stock still vest for 2025/26? Or is that uncertain now?

Can anyone confirm this rumor? There is now a PTG all-hands meeting sent out today for 8:35AM EST on 2/24. I have a bad gut feeling about this. Too many layoff announcement red flags (meeting time, date).
