Unsure if anyone’s posted this already but Skillz conducted a mass layoff yesterday morning. - 10% of workforce - CRO did the actual layoff on zoom (5 minute call citing resource constraints) - CEO told entire company afterwards “If you question the layoff or don’t want to be here I expect you to be gone by next Monday” - Eliminated entire PR team - 8 weeks severance TC $310k
> Skillz is an online mobile multiplayer video game competition platform that is integrated into a number (of mobile games) > Skillz runs around two million tournaments per day, for games such as Solitaire Cube, Bubble Shooter, and Dominoes. hmm
Still have no clue who they are
Then use Google. You can't or shouldn't know everything
Never heared if them
The stock is trying to breath!
Lovely ceo
Aren't they always? They'll be the first to hang someday.
You want somebody to die because they did a layoff?
I will invest 10$ in this company!
Andrew Paradise is being unempathetic with that statement. If a company can't take more than 5 minutes to address a life shattering issue to human beings, then it has bigger problems than just resources.
AP doesn’t have a drop of empathy in him.
I'm so sorry, Skillz. Good leadership is so important. Find and do better in a different company.
10% layoff, include engineers?
What a horrible time to lay off your entire PR team
penny wise pound foolish
I heard the managers were asked for $$ contribution of every employee and the ones that do not make the cut were laid off. Many of the people who were let go were new hires who were still ramping up.
Tf is skillzzz
Kathy Wood ❤️ the company! Keep up with the times bro!
