""really committed to the company and constantly just apply yourself to make your company successful." "Companies aren't perfect, but for the most part, companies figure out who the best employees are. They want employees that are culture builders, the ones that are working hard to serve our customers, doing all the right things," Springer said. "If you really apply yourself and don't become cynical about that, then I think you become really valuable to the company, and you're always going to be needed," he added."
"'When the iPhone came out and mobility became part of business, there were some people who said, 'I'm just staying with my Blackberry. I'm using it for emails, and I don't care about apps.' Five years later, they're a dinosaur,' he added."
""The macro piece is, you need to invest in your capabilities, and as new technologies come along, you have to embrace them," Springer said."
Dan Springer, former DocuSign CEO from 2017 to 2022, recommends two actions to reduce layoff risk: invest in capabilities and embrace new technologies, and demonstrate deep commitment to the company's success. He cited the iPhone displacing Blackberry as an example of failing to adapt. Strong employees act as culture builders, serve customers, and apply themselves without cynicism, making them more likely to be retained. DocuSign's stock surged during the pandemic then fell about 80% from its 2021 peak; Springer left the board in April and later joined Ironclad, a Franklin Templeton-backed company.
