And right around the time they laid off recruiters. It seems like they want to downsize their workforce.

They’re still actively recruiting and interviewing?!? They should have halted most of that and probably stop any contractual recruiting and possibly had HR layoffs.

Didn't they just lay off a significant percentage of their staff?

slut | karma 39 | avg karma 1.86 · | 2022-08-04 03:09:31

Pretty sure they laid off at least recruiting and ops staff today

Is this just underhanded layoffs? Like they needed to shrink headcount and didn't want to pay severance?

So basically big FAANG type companies are reverting the last year or two of hiring.

It's a stealth layoff. They want to have fewer employees.

This is pretty small adjustment for a company their size and comes on the heels of several large acquisitions and a huge hiring spree. I'm not sure this is actually a headcount reduction or just a restructuring. They have over 3000 job openings listed on LinkedIn right now.

They laid off all their employees earlier this year.

captncraig | karma 252 | avg karma 3.6 · | 2020-02-20 18:50:24

Didn't they just have layoffs recently?

gedy | karma 4676 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2020-03-28 03:05:32+00:00

They just laid off most of workforce

bikingbismuth | karma 436 | avg karma 3.6 · | 2022-07-26 20:07:04

Didn’t they just layoff a bunch of people and let go of their CFO?

rchaud | karma 15048 | avg karma 2.21 · | 2022-10-01 08:25:43

Doesn't that just mean their layoffs were announced 4 months in advance, to give them time to interview elsewhere?

outside1234 | karma 7662 | avg karma 2.81 · | 2023-10-17 16:25:22

So they are doing a layoff

alexanderscott | karma 104 | avg karma 3.35 · | 2023-03-24 16:47:37

didn’t they announce a bunch of layoffs recently?

pmichaud | karma 4320 | avg karma 4.28 · | 2017-07-23 23:40:32

Yes, they laid off a bunch of people.

joshuanapoli | karma 422 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2023-02-17 14:18:56

Maybe they hired some more people between the two layoffs.

epo | karma 2535 | avg karma 2.77 · | 2012-10-17 07:45:01+00:00

They seem to be laying off staff as a cost cutting exercise, the ones that are left mean well but are swamped.

singron | karma 1870 | avg karma 3.26 · | 2022-09-13 20:41:18

Yeah. They have had a major layoff every year for the last 3 years. Are they just engineering a kind of forced unregretted attrition? The alternative is that it's just complete chaos in there.

daemin | karma 1897 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2018-10-03 13:25:27+00:00

I thought I read somewhere where they actually stopped all hiring for their company. It may have been this year even.
