Last in first out when it comes to layoffs, the hiring freeze looks bad

Won’t rescind why? To hide what teams are getting laid off?

Depends on your situation. How big is your pay raise? Are you on a work visa? IMO when you are interview prepared, it's not hard to find another job.

Let's join a company that just blew 5b last quarter, about 60% of what they raised at IPO. Keep er goin

The $5B was mostly due to the IPO and their stock based compensation expense. They still lost around $600M so not great, and the California legislature is one vote away from redefining employee vs independent contractor which could cost Uber another $500M a year, so yeah, still not great.

Can't wait for California to fuck up yet again by overregulating

Seems like the right thing to do. Either all jobs should be forced to pay min wage or no jobs should be forced to pay. Uber is just an arbitrage business model

50k bump bot worth the risk. Sales force seems much better business.

Uber is in hiring freeze.
