They can't even do redundancies decent. A total joke.

F

Is the only word that can describe PayPal

That would be a small mercy in this whole mess.

Based on Slack numbers we're down like 450 or something actives, beginning with around 26,000-something. I guess maybe the 20% is over the course of a couple years but IDK

Sending support, my heart goes out to everyone impacted. I’m truly sick to my stomach.

With this new wave of layoffs, are you seeing any evidence of a reduction of the number of management layers as mentioned by Enrique? Managers, Directors, etc...?

being cut from paypal was like being freed from a dumpster fire. managed to find something way better and never looked back.

I know my manager is an id--t but what kind of a heartless monster do you have to be to schedule a 1:1 titled update with somebody on a layoff day??? Related to something that isn't even all that urgent? I'm so, so angry now I can't even think... — read more 

Some people have heard that these layoffs will continue all week, while others are hearing it will be fully finalised by COB today. Thoughts?

Were they impacted too or is it too early to tell given that this is most likely an all week affair.

For those who have been affected by the layoff, our hearts are with you. What are the severance details?

Anyone from Sweden impacted by layoffs?

I’m in the US and new at PayPal. What is the process followed by HR? Does the person affected being laid off get the meeting invite? How does the rest of the team or manager find out who has been let go from their team?

Heard from someone it will be all week which is so brutal. What a nightmare of a company. I’m sure I. Cruz over HR is sleeping just fine though.

Anyone who got impacted can you please share what are they saying in the meetings. On what basis this is being done or how long it will continue? Also which levels and orgs are impacts?

I just want it to be over with. The stress of waiting is one of the worst feelings. Time to leave it behind us.

Anyone in the US getting invites for the dreaded call?

If anyone is impacted today from Ireland can you say what dept you are in just so we can have an idea So many rumors that today is the day for Ireland with numbers ranging 170 to 450 I'd say the 170 number seems more realistic If nothing happens... — read more 

Tomorrow is approaching for those in the US, and with whatever you’re hoping to have happen tomorrow, I hope you’re going to be ok. I’m honestly sick to my stomach. We just had our son in April, and as the primary income earner of the house, I’m... — read more 

Why is Paypal not buying other companies? With the strong quarterly profit and $80B in assets, it has the firepower to acquire many companies in this economy. Current headcount is at the 2019 levels around 23,200. Subtract another 4k employees and... — read more 

Looks like mails started coming for india. I see a fresh comment on slack with the mention of impacted by layoff. All the best everyone.

I don’t see anything listed. Do they skirt around this requirement? Of might this be an indication that tomorrow there will not be layoffs?
