Microsoft hckebfk Sep 10, 2019

Their hiring bar is so high but they just let people go so easily...

Indeed WLBgreat Sep 10, 2019

Their hiring bar is high? I got an offer from them don’t think they’re like FB Google but definitely better than Amazon and MS and around Indeed Dropbox.

Compass roriti Sep 10, 2019

Indeed is at the same level as Dropbox and Uber?

Google topCon Sep 10, 2019

Uber PR: we over hired by 435 this year. Nothing to see

At least for anywhere SoftBank has invested.

Apple bowchikwo Sep 10, 2019

What was the lay-off package like?

Twitter tcermax Sep 10, 2019

A kick in the butt on the way out.

Uber duHbshH Sep 11, 2019

I wouldn't call it a package.

Facebook Pack-Man Sep 10, 2019

I think the management chain should be responsible and they should cut the millions they get as compensation, rather than targeting low level engineers

Southwest Airlines alffjls Sep 10, 2019

Hahahahaha...you serious? Travis was(before he got kicked out) the poster child of entitlement and douchebagerry in SV, you really think a culture founded on that gives a crap about its low level peons?

Google 3lineguy Sep 10, 2019

I heard it was a lot of middle management laid off and some orgs flattened

Dell 1221 Sep 10, 2019

I guess this layoff will impact bay area housing

Amazon jtwotwo Sep 10, 2019

we are talking about <500 people here...
