why does Lyft not have talent directory like airbnb

Why did Lyft not create any talent directory unlike Uber or Airbnb? Arguably Lyft pays higher salaries and potentially laid off better employees. Some of their executives shared spread sheet of employees laid off. Their severance is also lowest among the other high profile companies like Uber, Airbnb or Cruise automation. #severance #layoff #lyft #uber #airbnb

Because the remaining staff doesn’t know how to code and create a simple site

This is true

Lyft pretty bad Jun 2, 2020

I can make a JIRA ticket and wait 3 weeks to find out why its not on the roadmap, but send a proposal and we’ll think about it next half

Airbnb set the precedent, Uber followed, Lyft was the kid who got caught

Lyft is doom. Too narrow of a business model, Uber will crush them unfortunately... And this is coming from a Lyft over Uber user.

Because Lyft may not care as much. Airbnb is way nicer than normal. Have you seen there severance package. Never seen a better one.

WeWork gave 4-6 months for severance, but no free laptop and healthcare for only 4-6 months. Think it was comparable in terms of compensation tho.

Amazon hfsnffdkb May 23, 2020

That's nice too.

I interviewed for their TPM team mid last year and the arrogance was the worst I have ever seen (L5 group)

Uber abcat May 23, 2020

I got a similar vibe.

Google iNxk33 May 23, 2020

The hiring mgr was way high up in arrogance

Kindred QaHF06 May 23, 2020

Cuz they have no talent

Not everyone can be Larry Ellison’s cat.

1. Lyft doesn’t pay higher salaries than Airbnb. They didn’t even have annual refreshers or annual bonuses until recently. I heard the refreshers have been implemented but are still not good. 2. Lyft is in a much worse situation financially burning through cash much faster. It’s a much lower margin business. 3. Lyft is the underdog in its space. 4. Lyft typically just copies whatever others are doing. They laid off people before Airbnb so they didn’t have a chance to copy the directory

Lyft created a fb group where everyone contributed by sharing contacts (hiring managers or employee referrals or HR) ... So we did helped in a different way Talent directory needs to be seen by HRs, HMs .... Here we did directly talked to them in network

Google HEYEHENK May 25, 2020

I am one of those affected. I saw an excel sheet shared on LinkedIn and created by Hador. No one mailed me about Facebook group.

Lyft upxm26 May 25, 2020

My bad!! The group was specific to an org... Didn't noticed it You can still join it but ppl have gone cool now... No more activity Dm me for fb group name

Groupon ExGrouponr May 30, 2020

Because they’re aggressively hiring and it would be bad form to have a list of laid off people in the careers page
