Thinking about the usual candidates . . . Sales, marketing, support, HR etc.
Teams whose primary function was to keep LNKD running as a public company, some in-house IT. Former was announced on the day of aquisition itself, latter happened slowly over few months. Company has been transparent and open about it. I don't think there were mass layoffs in other areas.
It's all good after the acquisition except for switching to office 365 from gsuite, which is not too bad. You guys will love it! 💰💰💰
Slack to Teams... next maybe Salesforce to Dynamics... downgrading our tools one Microsoft product at our time
Have they changed the stock grant targets for LNKD folks?
I can't speak for everyone obv, but I've received very similar grants post acquisition.
Interesting. I always thought that Amy would standardize comp as soon as the acquisition closed to optimize LinkedIn’s PnL
I wonder how long they’ll let LI have their own comp structure. We pay significantly more than Microsoft at the same level (similar to Facebook, Google, etc) so I’ve seen many Microsoft people switch over to LI and get higher comp.
I guess it will depend on LinkedIn’s growth rate and profitability. If it keeps growing at expected pace, I think we will let LinkedIn do whatever they have been doing.
I’m sure FB would be happy to see that happen.
Yes. Only finance and tax
