Stripe layoffs incoming

Have an ex-colleague at the senior leadership level who was saying that layoffs will happen sometime in the next quarter (Q3). I trust this source, just be cautious if you wish to proceed with an offer from Stripe. TC: 460k

Too general to be useful. Layoffs IN WHICH DEPARTMENTS?

Uber Blumpkins OP May 27, 2022

Sorry, engineering is the only one we talked about that is at risk. Iā€™m sure there are others though

In what universe is engineering the only group thatā€™s laid off? If anything, they make up the smallest portions of layoffs (I.e Bolt, Better,etc.).

They will do a hiring freeze before any layoffs.

So you have a colleague (who works for Uber) saying Stripe has layoffs? <insert Joe Biden voice> Cā€™mon man! At this point itā€™s all speculation. Could be true or could be false. Will find out in Q3?

Uber Blumpkins OP May 27, 2022

A colleague who works for Stripe lol

Mark this post to see if your senior leadership friend is bullshit or not sooner or later.

So what?

Q3 aligns with reviews that may drive decisioning. Still donā€™t think itā€™ll happen until at least the first step of freezing. Thereā€™s also already a morale issue due to thin staffing. I still donā€™t understand why these companies donā€™t start with freezing the expensive unnecessary benefit programs and bonus programs.
