Tough place to work at a fang company. They lay you off quick like you are nothing to them. It is so obvious those tears are fake. It is better to work at a well established company like intel instead of these unicorn companies such as uber, lyft, airbnb, pinterest. It’s not good always chasing after those high TCs.

Watch as Uber Lays Off 3,500 Employees on a 3 Minute Zoom Call

Funny how you make a 1% salary (probably 0.1% given your COL) and live in basically a mansion relative to your neighborhood yet manage to be upset at other people making massive amounts of money. Try some self reflection, you are just as spoiled by the whims of the market economy and supply/demand pricing of labor
None of us probaly have ever worked as hard as your average med student, poor parent working 3 jobs, etc. yet we are all reaping the gains, you included. You just haven't "won" as much as some others making 500k did, and you're upset.
I took a pay cut to be here so it wasn’t about TC for me. ❤️❤️❤️
Also despite stating that contingent workers would get an “additional 2 weeks pay,” they failed to mention that one of those weeks was worked. Health benefits were also cut on our last day, but we did get to keep our computers (and let’s face it, there was less risk in giving the computers away than to have them sitting unprocessed in a warehouse somewhere).
I realize that contingent workers have always been treated differently, but it’s frustrating to constantly read about how “human centered” and thoughtful the layoffs were handled.
Congrats on your 14+ weeks of severance - I’m still waiting for my unemployment claim to be processed.
Unfortunately, they are legalities around what can or can’t happen based on contracts they have with vendors since they’re not Airbnb employees. I know because I’ve both been one (joined Airbnb as one), and had some report to me before. So many stupid rules about what you can or cannot say, who can deliver what message, or what you can give or not. Benefits/pay is all part or overhead they pay for you, usually 15-20%, but again up to the vendor on what they choose to offer. Similarly, Slack etc can only be company communications. It sucks but you legally cannot do so many things; I think ultimately the best thing a company can do is hire more full time.
I think laptops would have been fine - you can have them sit in packaging for a short time and then clear, similar to our badges they had us return.
I'll miss the Uber master-race bros flaunting their paper TC on Blind
- you don't change the world, the owner of the company does.
- you won't say this when you are laid-off later
- people usually hypnotize themselves after they made a choice that cannot be easily change.
