Looks like they are firing some heavy hitters! Nate Silver is out! Does anyone know the split yet? Are they firing mid level managers or ICs more? TC - 120K #layoff #severance
Nate is not out. 538 got hit hard and he said that he was upset so **he** would not be renewing his contract when it runs out very soon.
Ah, the headline looked like he was let go! Are you things internally? How many people have been notified?
Who??
feels weighted towards management, but whole teams that report to those managers are being cut too so its fairly broad based. alot of merging of orgs going on
Wondering now what would be round 3 target :/
My friends team had their skip mgr and (the skip mgr’s) manager cut. The team doesn’t know what’s going on, just that the engineers are *safe* for now. I’m not sure flattening the report chain is a good idea for an org this widespread.
I don’t even know there was round 1
R1 was in March, right?
What? Its April and second round?????
