They're the weakest link at PayPal.
When will we be able to say layoffs are done?
I hate living like this. I hate having to think about layoffs every day and worrying if I'll have a job to support my family a week from now. I have been trying to find a new job but so far I have been unsuccessful. I just need some time to not have... — read more
Ireland updates today
What’s the news?
THIS year might be the end of PayPal US employees
Title says all. With the loss of the US buildings I suspect no more US employees or gutted to a bare minimum.
Omaha buildings
Are they all gone? Any word?
IRELAND lay offs
Anyone knows anything? Any details etc..
Impacted by the layoffs...
even though you were an excellent employee? Anyone like that here? I still can't believe that my colleague got laid off, considering that he is the kind of employee that every good company would love to have on their team.
Any updates on layoffs this week?
Just curious if there have been any new information on layoffs this week for NA omaha chandler.
Where do the jobs go
bangladesh Why. Annual salary is 3-4k IN US dollars and while the health care in the country's is crud its free. Even if PayPal doubled the annual salary and paid for better health care they can probably employ 4-5 people for my salary alone
Is it true that layoffs are still not done?
What is taking them that long???
CEO laying himself off
No doubt this is to save face before Elliott Management booted him
Any NA updates?
Specifically for Omaha or Remote AZ? Haven't heard or seen anything since last week. Wondering if we are in the clear.
EMEA
Any word when emea will get info? In Dublin have not heard anything yet and manager says they don’t know yet. When will we get told if we are going or if we are ok. I can’t think straight I’m so stressed
How many have been notified so far?
I think that the number of employees affected could be somewhat higher than what was stated in the announced layoff plan (2,000). Let's hope it won't be like that. Are there any guesses as to what percentage of the planned number has already been... — read more
This is far from over
Don't think that once this round is over there'll be no more cuts. The economy is going downhill every day. The worst is yet to come and with that will come more cuts. I don't mean to fearmonger, but please don't become complacent and stop looking... — read more

Severance generosity
seeing how they timed it in a way to prevent affected employees’ shares from vesting I would be worried about the severances “generosity” too In the message shared by the CEO, it was promised that the company would provide impacted employees... — read more
Leak rumours
Any truth to the rumour that this wasn't supposed to announced until May this year but they had to release the statement early due to a leak?
A reason behind being selected for layoffs
This might be a stupid question, but I'm wondering if anybody was given a reason why they were selected to be laid off? If they don't offer the reason on their own, did anybody ask and get an answer? If I was affected, which didn't happen yet but... — read more
Stay away from companies that are currently having mass hirings
We did the same thing and look what's happening just a couple of years later. And it's not just us. Just look at Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft. Apple hired reasonably and they're yet to have layoffs. Joining a company amid mass hiring is almost... — read more
2k is not realistic
That's too many considering how overworked everybody already is. If they were getting rid of useless management layers that'd be one thing but they're not. They never get rid of them. They're once again going to cut the people who do the actual... — read more
Will this truly last for a few weeks?
Why can't they lay off everybody in a day or two? Why do they have to make it last several weeks? That's weeks of unnecessary stress and anxiety. Is there any chance that the "several weeks" comment is in regards to people who are on vacation and the... — read more
Where will all the laid off people go? 300K Laid off in Last 12 months or so?
Who's going to employe these folks?
Which Groups are Affected the Most
I see a 330 platform group post below, that's bad.
60 days and H1-B Visa
I am currently on an H1-B visa and have a grace period of sixty days. I just had a quick question regarding whether or not the notice period is included in this grace period. Or does it include the grace period of sixty days after the termination of... — read more
Platform Org: 330 Engineers Laid Off
Platform Org was hit today, 330 engineers were laid off...
Which groups will be the most impacted?
There is so little transparency in this company.
It is official now

2000 layoffs
PayPal just announced they will be laying off 2000 employees (7% of full time workforce) in the coming weeks
Any media coverage?
Who's covering the cut? Is it for real?
Layoffs happening now
No info on how many today, yet.
Almost nothing to do
I would rather be overwhelmed than have nothing to do. That's never a good sign. Anyone else having this problem?
More layoffs at PayPal
I've been hearing rumors of even more layoffs coming to PayPal in the next few months. I'm not sure there are enough of us left to lay off, to be honest, but this is PayPal and nothing would surprise me anymore. If the rumors are true, can anybody... — read more
Hiring has continued
I take this as good news. If we're hiring once again, that means layoffs are less likely.
I am petrified of layoffs
I am worried that I may be one of the tech layoffs. It has been extremely hard for me to find another job, since my working experience is so short. I have been looking for a new job for months now, but without any luck. I have been applying to... — read more
What’s the update on layoffs?
Dan made it seem like a massive layoff was on the horizon. Any update?
Layoffs outside US
Any news on layoffs outside of the US, particularly emerging markets e.g. PayPal Japan?
Severance
Just curious, what have the severance packages looked like for employees that have been there 10+ years?
How many more will be laid off after today?
I'm expecting the worst regarding the earnings call so I'm fully prepared for the C-suite to go nuclear over it. I swear if things don't improve soon, there'll be no more PayPal within a couple of years. You can't improve results by cutting people... — read more
