Suprised LinkedIn has 16k employees
Time to cut the fat

LinkedIn is indeed. Nothing more. LinkedIn will soon be an org in msft.

what is GSO and GTO? any engineers or PM impacted or was this sales
Global sales and global talent acquisition
This was a sales & HR lay-off not tech according to several articles
Will there be a second wave? Uber layoffs started from recruiting, then support, then tech :(
How many laid off in tech? Is this SWEs?
Yeah, 960 people from sales and HRs got layed off which is about 6% of our workforce.
Is it smart to lay-off revenue producing salespeople during a downturn?
Probably not enough leads at the moment. Or possibly work for sales team.
