1. Blind made people brag/ humble brag about their net worth and tc (even inflating figures) 2. Blind encouraged others to apply for tech jobs after doing boot camps and leetcode 3. I personally interviewed a bunch of waiters and bartenders and FC folks for SDE jobs at Amazon 4. Now they hired too ...Read more
Previous: https://www.teamblind.com/post/Am-I-about-to-be-laid-off-fired-MgM5w4xj Yesterday I asked if I was about to be laid off by my startup employer. I got a lot of good advice (and some humor) that helped me prepare, such as checking HR calendars and pulling everything that I needed from compa...Read more
Blind had layoffs (again). Will this platform still be around in the near future?
Heard from a friend who works at Blind that they had layoffs. Rumor is they cut 20% of their US team #layoff
With extreme precision (Microsoft 5%), Amazon (18K), Salesforce, Intel, Lattice etc... Blind is even faster intel than WSJ! I am impressed!
If you're a coaster please stop posting publicly. Blind is very mainstream now, folks from twitter and leadership are reading these posts and using them as justification for layoffs. Tech company profit margins are great still, tech co stocks are going up crazy, yet there's more layoffs. Posts lik...Read more
For years we had people on here bragging how little work they were doing while getting paid $300-900k, laughing at people making “peanuts” and putting long hours … as if execs and higher level folks don’t read blind too. There are no free lunches, what did folks think would happen at the first sig...Read more

Charging for name changes? Seriously? Are you like...Twitter? Facebook? What's up, Blind?
If blind did layoffs, where should people working there complain?
I remember about a year ago, I use to come on Blind and majority of the topics were about offers and whether one should accept the offer or not. Now I see topics around layoffs, these are hard times and we must understand the homeless rate of this country. Whether H1B makes sense or not, whether wor...Read more
As title, I have recently noticed blind getting slower (like comment, post, or feed takes a while to load). Is it possible that layoff rumors have increased the engagement here? #layoff #blind
When will the cycle end, I'm starting to take layoff predictions on blind a lot more seriously, like ofc some of them are trolls, but when there are multiple people in the comments confirming, how can people still cope? every layoff prediction thread is the same, someone predicts, most of the comme...Read more
First off, anyone who was laid off at Uber, I hope you find a good job soon. Uber doesn’t deserve your talents. -From your big bro upstairs at 1455. To everyone else hyping the sh*t out of Uber pre-Ipo. Shaking my head to you. All you saw on blind were posts of how Uber was “supreme”. The hottest...Read more
Asking for a friend whose company may have some headcount reduction next week… This community rocks and has helped me a lot in switching my last 3 jobs. It would be much harder to find a job without being plugged in. But layoff == no more company email. How can we stay plugged in?
I am mostly ok but whenever I come to blind its all layoffs and layoffs. Should I be worried.,
How it feels to be on Blind this week and reading about upcoming Meta layoffs. TC 255K #meta #hiring #freeze
