It's a corporate environment. There will always be layoffs. We saw two large ones in consecutive years which is rare but we had extremely poor leadership in the past. Dan laid of roughly 2000 people in 2023 only to turn around and hire back 2000... — read more

Curious if all frontline has been eliminated in the US. I know Venmo is now all abroad afaik. Any Arizona or Omaha support left?

I was not laid off in this latest round, but I’m not waiting for the next one. Constant anxiety over losing a job, peaking during mass layoffs, is ki-ling me. Since there is no point staying here, because there is no reward, promotion or any kind of... — read more 

$40+m package (double that of Dan's), but hardly make any improvements? And morale all time low?

Alex, Aaron etc visited places like Mexico and Singapore etc..... Are these locations safe? Or is this indication more casualties in these places?

Are people frustrated by the worthless RSUs in addition of constant worry about being laid off?

Did anyone get a retention payment in their last paycheck? And if you did did your manager talk to you about it?

Other than the 85 roles in Ireland that were announced to the media, it appears that all the layoffs have been US based employees. Seems this US based company prefers to pay the new CEO double what Dan was making at the expense of its US... — read more 

Hearing all those rumors that layoffs will continue next week. Anyone know more? Let us know, especially if by a small chance rumors are not true.

Sorry to those already affected earlier this week.

I am trying to move into Global Professional Services as layoffs have been pretty common in Engineering and Product. Seems GMS is a good place to segue if you are in the level 25 and below. As there are many 26, 27, 28 level employees actually not... — read more

Has anybody experienced recently bullying and harassment from their leaders for stupid things? I feel it’s a widespread issue and coming from the top of the chain to pressure people to leave

Can we expect more cuts?

I've been hearing >2,000 people were impacted in this last round but that seems high for how little attention it's gotten in the media

Any updates from legitimate sources.

Worked for PayPal almost 5 years. Not the same company as when I started. Lost a lot of good friends and coworkers today and the experience they had can’t be replaced.

I wonder if they will pay out PTO, I had maxed out at 280 hours.

'Technology Leadership' Important Team Update. Hi, Please join me to connect for an important..... If you received one of these emails today, unfortunately, it means you are being laid off.
