Maybe at Google. It just isn't true for (at very least) Netflix, Uber, Microsoft, and Amazon.

- pb7 7y agoNetflix, Amazon, and Uber, no, but Microsoft is a hard yes. It was the first tech giant to popularize the whole "rest and vest" cliche and still does. Facebook and Apple vary by org but it's still quite possible if that's what interests you. Then drop down a tier and it's very easy -- the likes of Oracle, IBM, eBay, PayPal, Adobe, etc. push very few out because barely anyone wants to come in.
- tempsy 7y agoSo I named 4 well known tech companies, and you admitted 3 of them do regularly layoff workers during performance review cycles, and yet continue to argue that it isn't true that companies lay off employees on a regular basis...? Ok...
- pb7 7y agoI admitted that it's not laughably hard to get fired but it's still pretty hard if you show any semblance of effort. Naming three (of the most cut throat) exceptions out of thousands of companies is not an argument.
- tempsy 7y agoI named 2 out of the 5 companies that are a part of FAANG. The other is considered a big tech employer now. The top of market salaries come from these large, competitive companies. It is more unusual to be making that much and "resting and vesting" than not.
