My friend who worked 5 years at Uber just got laid off from Uber on Monday. According to them, people in other departments are getting cut. Not a mass layoff and they aren’t calling it such. #layoff
What level are they. Are they SWE?
not familiar with levels but he was a product designer for 5 years
Nice ! They can now catch Uber and go home
Performance reviews

Can confirm; same thing happened to a friend at Uber
Hope it’s not same friend
Same. Happened with my friend too
That's just PIP. Lots of posts about pip at Uber on blind. Just read post about performance related termination at Uber today
You sure he wasn't actually PIPed?
No alles people have been let go without any prior warning or feedback or a plan to improve. Does not count as PIP. It’s just a cowardly mistep to save Dara face after publicly stating no layoffs.
Shopify did the same thing after first round of layoffs after which Tobi said there would be no more.
Is it just routine performance management / PIP? I hear they have a 8% quota this year. Doesn’t sound like a layoff
So friend was fired?
If they got severance he/she wasn’t fired. But OP didn’t mention.
Kinda grey here whether layoffs or firing but yes 14.5 weeks severance
