This is such a weak move... Not only is Shopify pulling FT hire offers, but they're cancelling their entire internship program. Are you telling me that Shopify is so strapped for cash that they needed to pull the plug on student internship offers? This is both disgusting and concerning considering that interns TC is practically pennies anyways... https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/shopify-pulls-offers-internships-4847121/ #shopify
Uff what a slap in the face
Sucks for students who NEED to complete internships to graduate. They'll only have 1.5 months left until fall internship starts.
that’s a thing? need internships to graduate?
Depends on your program, but it's true for some. You also need to consider that there's also a lot of people that are studying on student visa that will expire if they don't have proof from managers that they're working.
Didn’t Pinterest and Fitbit do the same thing a few years back?
This just sucks!
Jerk move. These interns have their graduation dates at risk now.
Internships are actually pretty expensive. One intern can consume ~30% of an FTE time.
Jokes on ya. In one famous company I pulled more money than FTE.
Interns are amazing. If you hire the right intern they can actually iterate 10x faster than an FTE because they’re not bogged down by other stuff
Meanwhile, the CEO saw this as the perfect time to take a dig at interns: https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1535683383090728960?s=20&t=gIEfNw5ycmqxM8jJb5xBRw
This guy is a useless loser... He hasn't programmed anything outside his shitty rails libraries or had a real job outside of Shopify.
This is completely reprehensible. What kind of asshole shits on interns after pulling the rug out from under them? What a complete douche bag.
Not only this..they arent even clearing the dues for people who they laid off. I was laid off and some of my claims are still unpaid with no one responding.

How big are the balls of Google to lay off thousands and then do 70 BILLION in stock buyback?
Making Coinbase proud.
Coinbase didn't rescind summer intern offers, Shopify is cancelling fall intern offers with 6 weeks to go. RIP Waterloo co-op students.
