Fuck you for laying off so many people despite removing all of zooms benefits to “save” the jobs beforehand. Fuck you for ruining so many peoples lives, especially new grads. Fuck you for pretending to put on a noble front saying you’re donating most of your salary, even though we all know that doesn’t make any real difference since you’re worth billions in stock. Fuck you, Eric
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Eric doesn’t give a F like every other exec out there. That’s why you do not devote your life and soul to a corporation.
Yeah, but with this being first job outta college I didn’t have much choice but to devote to it or face the bloodbath of a job market. Ended up doing that anyway
kid, one day you’re going to be the guy writing names on a paper and laying them off. you bitc and whine about it today, but just wait 10 years. everyone goes through the same process. i’ve been laid off. and have also laid people off. after a while, nobody takes it personally getting laid off is like getting laid. the first time feels pretty special. ever subsequent time is usual business. as long as you have protection of some sort, you’re fine. don’t stress over it too much
I think the board forced those decisions, it wasn't solely him. The layoffs have sucked across the whole tech industry for over a year now. And is it better for the layoff to be a higher level professional with a family and mortgage, rather than a new grad who has no responsibilities? Any layoff is depressing and shitty, it's not worse for new grads. At least they can still be on parents health insurance.
Wtf? You think new grads have no responsibilities? What about paying back loans? Getting their family out of poverty? And who says their parents aren’t struggling themselves?
New grads have a 6 month grace period on loans. And usually can live with parents or roommates to save money until they're financially stable. Compare that to a parent with 2 kids and a mortgage. It's just not the same I "liked" this post and I agree layoffs are terrible. I just didn't like the insinuation that new grads somehow have it worse. Layoffs are bad for everyone
Have you gotten any interviews at all?
Gotten interviews but cant get offers bc it’s way too competitive out there. 6 months experience doesn’t let me compete well with people with like 4 years
This guy fucks
his hand
It sucks but a businesses goal is to be in business
Sorry to hear this, OP. As long as CEOs are controlled by investors and people who want nothing more than to maintain and increase the bottom line, these layoffs will continue. As unfortunate as it is as Zoom chose to lay people off, this will hopefully only reinforce the need for remote work among talent and force companies to compete for the best talent that wants to work remotely. I for one will never go back to the office, with or without Zoom. TC: 105K
Tech industry needs union very bad. Else this will keep happening If we are required to give notice before leaving the company so they can find someone at our place They should do the same All these corporates are earning money cz of all hardworking people they keep messing with
You are not required to give notice before leaving. It’s just a courtesy. Leave anytime you want, companies don’t deserve a heads up with how they treat employees anywyas
you signed up for this industry and the lifestyle it affords in exchange for volatility. if you want stability, go work for the govt with shit pay but pensions for life. go to the dmv
Thank you Eric Yuan

Nicely put. Welcome to your first job in a recession though. It’s a bloodbath out there
When will the economy turn around from the deep recession that we found ourselves in? Labor market is so depressing indeed.
