This week is going to be brutal. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/04/twilio-layoffs-company-to-cut-5percent-of-employees.html
Happy holidays
Wall Street must be creaming their pants right now. It’s a Christmas miracle. When will the US government start standing up for their people?
It is standing up for its people: the shareholders and investors.
How about blaming company leadership first before blaming Wall Street? You didn’t blame wall street when stock was going up 500% and there was hiring expansion. Top execs continuing to mint money with zero accountability. They have several ways of cost cutting costs but they are choosing layoffs and continuing to increase their own pay which is terrible
Another one not getting to Santa’s good list.
goblins are never on the good list
Capitalists are never on the nice list
Wow
Is he using race as a factor to determine who gets laid off again? Maybe he should start with himself
Jeffy legit has no idea what’s going on, it’s kind of incredible in its own way
The company is in terrible shape..all credible executives have left.. and it’s bloated as hell .. I won’t be surprised if we have another few rounds like this and a few products reaching eol
Yes. I have never seen anything like it
i interviewed at twilio this morning ...
Good grace. I was laid off in the first round. Godspeed to those who are impacted today.
Eh, it’s about 300 people and it’s to fold a product back into our main business that should never have been separated in the first place.
Guess what, the other time they did a layoff it was to split off the product so that we can go to market better. I guess you can keep drinking the kool aid.
I’m stating facts. I’m sorry you were laid off and are obviously still bitter about it. I still have my job, but by no means am I drinking anyone’s koolaid.
On the bright side, you get the holidays off.
Unless you are on Visa with a clock ticking
I am sure they are smart enough they’ll be picked up fast

Merry Xmas
Sadly this will brutal week, stay safe everyone I posted this in Spotify thread. This is week for layoffs in order meet the yearly targets or cover up for earnings misses by doing a layoff. Why this week? Because it right when most people are back from thanksgiving break and any later in Dec and people will note they did layoff before Christmas.
Merry RIFmas
