https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/30/thumbtack-layoffs/ we’re officially at the start of depression
Wtf is thumbtack
That’s a huge lay-off. How many employees does Thumbtack have in total?
20-25%
Engineering and DS departments also got impacted ??
Yupppp.... :( This is tip of the iceberg of the economic disaster right now and is a direct result of the fact that small businesses are NOT DOING WELL right now.
TT, what % of eng was laid off?
What was the severance like? Was it fair?
Same question^^
Did you guys get any farewell package?
It was mentioned that the severance was 1 month's pay. Not sure if this was org dependent or across the board
We're hiring at Deliverr
This is a big problem. Thumbtack supports small business. Well fuck. The 10 million unemployment number is gonna ripple out significantly.
How are we at the start of the depression when a shitty startup has layoffs?
It’s a depression that those 250 peoples households.
Mm Thumbtacks success is directly tied to the health of small businesses. Fair to say this points to a larger problem
