An employee of San Francisco startup Webflow has called out her CEO Linda Tong in how she handled layoffs, claiming neither did he receive an email nor a message about her termination but was simply locked out of his laptop. The Canada-based employee took to her LinkedIn account after finding himself unable to access his work device early in the morning. This came as a shock to him as he was locked out of company's accounts without any warning or prior notice.
According to the employee’s LinkedIn post, he sensed that something was wrong after suddenly losing access to his Webflow laptop early in the morning. He said there had already been internal rumours about possible layoffs, but the company had not officially informed him whether his position had been affected.
