Uber eats and freight are in safe zone
Is eats profitable? Surprising that no layoffs in that org
Yeah its surprising given that eats as an app is a total shit show
Sad day today for us
Their hiring bar is so high but they just let people go so easily...
Uber PR: we over hired by 435 this year. Nothing to see
A sad day for Uber. How big is the eng org at Uber
Around 5,000 globally.
Feels like this will be the start of a new normal
At least for anywhere SoftBank has invested.
What was the lay-off package like?
I think the management chain should be responsible and they should cut the millions they get as compensation, rather than targeting low level engineers
Hahahahaha...you serious? Travis was(before he got kicked out) the poster child of entitlement and douchebagerry in SV, you really think a culture founded on that gives a crap about its low level peons?
I heard it was a lot of middle management laid off and some orgs flattened
What’s the notice period and severance?
