There are a specific handful of people I genuinely hope are part of this layoff…


sort by: page size:

They probably are and it’s likely a different set of people than those that were laid off.

Please, please have Stephen A. Smith be one of the people laid off.

Yeah, they're hoping that the people they didn't fire don't "get out before the next round of layoffs"

It really takes a special kind of person to hope that tons of people lose their jobs...

I don't see what's missing. Those people are laid off.

It sucks for those impacted but at least it's not some BS excuse like in most recent layoffs. I hope they find new jobs soon.

Indeed. I expect mass layoffs basically immediately.

It's not a publicly announced layoff. These people will be "managed out" - they'll be put on PIPs, given shitty work to do, have constant reviews, never given any chance for a promotion or a raise, until eventually they choose to quit.

Recruiters, get to work. A bunch of extremely talented people got laid off today.

I hope they publish how many employees decide to leave.

They probably all got laid off.

Until they’re part of the layoffs too.

Just more regular people about to be laid off and suffer.

I mean, hundreds of people laid off, some of whom had only recently moved their entire lives across country for their roles, is kind of a sad end mate.

Best of luck to JPLers. I know someone who was laid off. These are some inordinately talented people.

No doubt they will pour one out for all the homies laid off.

....or outright getting replaced by those workers:

It looks like the companies laying people off were the ones wanting staff back at the office.

I'm both saddened and excited. Saddened because this abuse is all too common in capitalist corporations led by megalomaniacs. And excited because my company is hiring and we don't ask anyone to work more than 40 hours a week. Hoping we can interview some people from Twitter soon so that they don't have to worry about finding new work after layoffs
