Had a friend impacted, but sounds like the number is quite high. Only Axios reporting and they have it content locked. π YOE: 6 TC: π₯
wow VP of Data Science also got laid off!!! Maybe his entire team is gone too
Any layoff news ?
I know 8 people that were let go across varying departments ( VPs, product managers, data science) and all of them had a ton of institutional knowledge that will be missed. Kind of shocked at who was cut to be honest.
Yup, Ceo didn't reveal official numbers but I know of 9 people from my extended team of 25 folks that got laid off. VP of data science who was with the company for 25 years got laid off as well.
Wow, I thought higher management is safer
From what I'm seeing (randomly looking up teammates on slack and checking if they are deactivated or not), it seems that a lot of non tech people are being let go. Definitely a weird thing to do because all the scientists on our team are still around (so far) but all the project managers and sales folks are gone.
