Worrying constantly was paralyzing, so I shifted my focus to searching for other opportunities and building a backup plan. It definitely helped reduce the stress and stopped me from feeling cornered. Even with a tough job market and low expectations... — read more 

Such a painful company to work for. They think some lad sending out a weekly Monday minute (lasts 10 minutes usually) is motivational, staff laugh at it. Comedy show company

I’m relieved. I’m going to try not to think about it and focus on my work. It’d be tough in this job market to be laid off. Very different from previous years. I’m hearing that it’s getting better? I think this stress might cause some people to act... — read more

Waiting around for layoffs you know are coming is way more stressful than just getting it over with. Dragging it out helps no one, just make the call so we can move on.

I got made redundant by PayPal and I must say it has been a blessing. I have a great new job and are setting up my own little business. I am so much happier and my mental health has really improved. If you are worried, there is life after PayPal.

Over the past five years, we’ve endured so many layoffs - and just as many false alarms - that I’ve become somewhat numb to it all. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be laid off. I really need this job. But at the same time, I can’t bring myself to... — read more

Hoping for an email early to mirror what Meta announced. Keep an eye on your teams calendars too.

Covered in other posts but Meta did a 5% layoff. PayPal chose 5% threshold for "Needs Improvement rating". Is this a coincidence or trend for earnings? If any planning is happening, its at highest levels. No assessments done this year about... — read more

Has anybody heard anything relating to layoffs for the end of this month ?

Are new grad hires at a higher risk of being laid off? San Jose specifically.

now there are rumors, do you think that's warranted? will there be layoffs in jan 2025?

At least for this year. I'd really like to know if we can relax for at least a short while before we're it with more cuts.

Apply for work in other places. I wouldn’t ordinarily go onto these sites, I feel you should know a lot of cuts coming following project January 2025. Redundancies in 2025 will NOT have enhanced redundancy payments. None. What will change. 16 per... — read more

How likely do you this is to go through another round of layoffs before the year ends?

There's rumors floating around that any future layoffs would definitely include people who could stay working remote or appeal the RTO to work remote and is accepted. Does anyone have any info on this?

Forgive my language here but with this new RTO policy, I’ve lost the last bit of respect for this company and the new leadership. This is my rant, and called so for a reason. Even removing the covid tailwinds, our revenue has been growing fairly... — read more
