LinkedIn ceo leaving, layoffs coming up?

Saw some rumblings on layoff websites. Jeff is leaving. What's going on. Actually what's LinkedIns value to Microsoft. @linkedin

SoundHound 3ml May 30, 2020

He was planning on leaving before covid19. Nothing to see here

Google hannibal OP May 30, 2020

Was that announced before? They always say that after the fact

LinkedIn hNYf52 May 30, 2020

Announced before.

LinkedIn LastSptn May 30, 2020

He's now Chairman

Lyft vIGh26 May 30, 2020

That doesn't mean much, he could be acting as an advisor and spending 6 hours a day working or he could be phoning in once a quarter for half an hour.

> what’s LinkedIn’s value to Microsoft A growing business with a potential for* better profit margins than most—if not all—of its other products?

Google hannibal OP May 30, 2020

What profit?

Synopsys x2321 May 30, 2020

Okay, true. I guess I had cached some stale data. I still think it has a better long term potential than enterprise software and Windows.

Microsoft GFloyd May 30, 2020

Satya pushed out Jeff! Microsoft is a Redmond based company who doesn’t belong or understand Silicon Valley. Remember YOU ARE NOT COOL CAUSE YOU WEAR JEANS and RUNNING SHOES! Massive Layoffs coming! Round 1 - July 1st, Round 2 - August 1st

Dell LUHV04 May 30, 2020

That’s a very specific prediction in terms of dates. why the layoffs now ? Microsoft seems to be doing well in terms of revenue

Google hannibal OP May 30, 2020

companies never miss an opportunity to cut costs

Facebook WhoIsJohnG May 30, 2020

Come on, LinkedIn, give them everything you’ve got! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgq0ecMHfzc

Microsoft hrufgh May 30, 2020

Make sense

SAP ksYR03 May 30, 2020

Surprised LinkedIn doesn’t make money. I thought it was profitable

LinkedIn hNYf52 May 30, 2020

You were right but now wrong.

Facebook WhoIsJohnG May 30, 2020

Oh? What’s changed?

Shire jet7 May 30, 2020

https://venturebeat.com/2020/04/29/microsoft-earnings-q3-2020/ Advertising revenue is down for everyone unless someone can post any financial information that shows numbers significantly down I think LinkedIn is perfectly fine

SAP ksYR03 May 30, 2020

But LI’s 2/3 revenue comes from recruiter product which is a SAAS Model. Why hasn’t it made money on that yet?

Google hannibal OP May 31, 2020

Like everyone is trying to hire in the pandemic recession

LinkedIn xizzhu May 31, 2020

The leaving was announced at beginning of February. https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2020/02/05/linkedin-ceo-jeff-weiner-ryan-roslansky.html

Indeed TikTokBoi May 31, 2020
