Chairman: All Life No Work. Anyone has idea on the layoff plan?
Related to coronavirus? I imagine it's terrible for tourism.
It's not, it sounded like the reason roots back to why the CEO was ousted
Might be because google is killing their business.
I hate that Barry Diller constantly says that. I don’t know, maybe we should build a better product that people will come to instead of blaming Google.
I can relate. I used a lot of Expedia before jumping to Google flights.
really? hadn’t the stock gone up just a few days back..
Stock has gone up after the earnings call, where the promise was double digit growth and cost cuttings. Cost cutting itself will contribute to that growth and that's the reason stock has gone up.
This plan has been in play for a long time, and is most likely still Mark O's just with tweaks.
Lot of redundant and unnecessary roles and people. We got an email today, 500 from HQ will be laid off. Fingers crossed.
Only from HQ?
Total 3500. 3000 worldwide and 500 HQ
Which teams and roles are affected?
Nothing specific. More clarity this week.
We don't know yet, but it will be announced over a couple of days.
Ask your manager the plan for yourself
What if even he is getting laid off? Lol
Go to his manager and if he being laid off it's not looking good but then go to the director lol
This is long over due !!! One of most inefficient company I have seen
You think Egencia is untouchable in this??
Smh such an old-minded company too amirite?
This has been in the works for months... good thing being an SDE in seattle means good Devs can make the best of the severance.
I wouldn't say its significantly but less for sure.
Just got the email and wondering the same shit...
