Hello! We see the news that Uber plans to layoff 20% of employees. When will this happen (Uber Q1 earning report is next Thursday 05-07)? #layoff #uber Update: it is not happening by May 1. Over 30% people get it wrong! Update: it happened on May 6. More to come.
why would you still want to go to uber in this situation?
Go to Uber don’t wait at google
Uber consistently lays off people. I really do not get it why people still join it.
Use God mode to spy on celebrities
Forget pay hike just stay where you are for next 6-12 months
wth just stay at google geese
It's just a discussion. May be there will be no layoff at all. Just wait for now.
1) leaving FAANG during a global pandemic is lunacy in general unless there are extreme circumstances (harassement, mental breakdown) 2) leaving FAANG to join a ride share company during a global pandemic only doubling down on the lunacy. 3) Kinda fucked up to even be job searching 'for fun' right now, the job market is as close to 'zero sum' as ever for SWE roles.
I think from a risk management point of view yes, but if you enjoy interviewing and/or don’t value stability and don’t care about the other effects layoffs have on a workforce and are just chasing RSUs that you think have to eventually appreciate... Idk personally i save ‘timing the market’ shenanigans for surplus cash in a brokerage account. Doing it with your career seems like something only done from a place of much more privilege than I have
Yes leaving Apple for Uber is crazy. Seriously.
One of my close work friends reports to L7 director, non-eng -- He doesn't know specifics but based on director's meetings is saying its likely Friday.

After layoff, it should be safe. More money and less burn rate.
