Topics regarding layoffs at PayPal

Are we done with layoffs for a while?

In all honesty, we can’t afford to lose anyone else. If they cut one more person, they may as well disband the whole team. There’s a limit to how much extra work we can take on, and we’re already leaning on that line. We can’t take any more, it’s as... — read more

I no longer care whether there will be cuts or not

I’ve accepted the fact that I could lose my job at any moment. I make a point of regularly sending out resumes, working my contacts, and keeping my skills, especially the in-demand ones, up to date. It helps me stay grounded and keeps me from feeling... — read more

Is it true

Re org operations are over No more layoffs are the rumours here on site today :-)

Enough with the cuts already

They’ve downsized so much that my "team" is just me and a few exhausted zombies trying to hold things together. Execs keep preaching "do more with less," but all we’re doing is failing slower. You cannot run a company without people. No matter how... — read more

The sooner it happens, the better

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.

There is life after PayPal

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.

I don't even care all that much

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
