Airbnb Layoffs
- vote IPO Layoffs Doordash, AirBnB, Palantir, Snowflake, etc. companies IPOed really well this year. Employees made really good money with their RSUs/options.

- Coronavirus is getting even worse than before, is Uber/Lyft/Airbnb screwed till the end? I keep reading articles where coronavirus is getting worse than before. There are record cases in Texas, California, and Florida after reopening. I thought the worst was over for companies like Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb. But it seems like this will continue on forever. I have a few friends working

- Laid off from Airbnb Hi everyone I hope all is well! Unfortunately this past week I was laid off from Airbnb with the massive cuts they had to make. Although very devastating I am trying to be proactive and start my job search. I was hoping to possibly get a referral for Spotify, Microsoft or Electronic Arts. I apprecia
- vote Those laid off from Airbnb/Uber/Lyft, did you lose negotiating power with offers? If you were recently laid off from a big tech company and received a job offer, did you find you had less power during negotiations because you had no job? Or did you negotiate the same as usual before pandemic layoff times? Also tagging FB and Google in case you got offers from them. #airbnb #Ub
- What happened to Quora? I remember it being mentioned as where the smartest tech people go during an internship search last year, but I have not heard of any news about Quora since last year’s layoff. What’s happening at Quora? Did it hire many people back like Airbnb? Is it hiring interns for next summer? Did engineering
- How many sourcers and recruiters do these tech companies really need? My LinkedIn feed is filled with sourcers and recruiters who were laid off recently by Uber and Airbnb. I have sympathy for them. They have mouths to feed. I am just astonished that tech companies need ( or thought they needed) to hire that many recruiters and sourcers in the first place!#severance #
- Are you really tech unicorns?? Do you think healthy tech unicorns crumbling in matter of 2 months and laying off 1000s of employees was avidable? Do these and potentially ones coming shortly could have been financially more lean and frugal to avoid this? These companies shouldnt be unicorns only beacuse for $1B valuation but sho
- Hit by layoffs. Refer me please? Hit by recent layoffs at Wayfair. 4 YoE. Given the sad severance of 2 weeks, need to expedite the process of getting my feet in the door.

- Joining Airbnb during coronavirus I accepted an offer at Airbnb before this whole coronavirus thing happened and was set to start in a few weeks. Anyways, I'm starting to get worried about joining with the way things are going with the economy and potential job security if I do join (I'll be joining a more experimental/non-core-to-b
- what to look for in new grad offer this fall? Assuming that Uber gives return offers this summer and that my new grad recruiting season goes okay, I am kinda scared to take a return offer given what they did to their last batch of new grads. My team seems so nice and I love their work, but it is pretty obvious SWEs here are anxious and angry ab
- why are big tech companies doing hiring freezes? I can see why covid would affect uber, airbnb, and hardware consumer comapanies like Apple but I am not seeing why places like Google or Microsoft are slowing hiring. their primary products are software which shouldnt be affected by people staying at home. In facts they might even have better busine
- 4 Months Post Layoff, Still No Luck | Seeking Referrals Going on four months after layoff and while I've had some traction, including a couple of final rounds with FAANG, I haven't landed an offer yet.

- What companies are: general hiring, easy in internal team transfer, no forced quote of pip? I found such companies can normally reduce corruption in hiring, management, are more fair, and more employee friendly. And why other companies do not follow the suite? I saw some teams in those companies hire people that managers have some connection with. This would bring unfairness in layoff too

- vote Biggest loser of 2020 Candidates are 1. Airbnb. They overreacted during the pandemic, sold their equity at a fire sale, laid off 25% of their employees and then rehired some of them a month later, and didn’t go IPO when they could at a hefty valuation. Now they are trying to go IPO in a middle of a pandemic when traveli

- What’s the long-term impact to a company for doing layoffs? I am young in my career so this is all new to me.
