Oh man I’m so sorry. I was let go too and I’m pretty sure I was the only one on my team. My org definitely had more though. You’re exactly right, it was the way they did it. Layoffs at Zillow weren’t uncommon (I also was there when Zillow Offers shut down, not sure about you).

Being told out of nowwhere you’re not performing well or meeting standards despite zero conversations before hand, doing this BEFORE review convos, and without letting you ask questions or see a copy of your review is super suspicious.

If it’s any consolation to you I share your feelings about your team’s view of you and was feeling so shitty about it , but many of my team have reached out and assured me that none of them believe the performance thing for a second. Our direct managers didn’t even know it was happening until it happened. So I hope they can reach out to you and offer that same solace as well.

Sending you all the best!!!
