Disclaimer: I've been at Uber since early 2016, not the first layoff round I see myself in.
I have observed the opposite: when layoffs are announced, it gets shared internally, conversations die off within <0.5 day, and people get on with their jobs. 2017 was different though.
I just find it more productive to work on the technical problems, rather than to worry about things I cannot control. And this is quite universal in my environment.
I am quite sure Uber will restart hiring after the current crisis is over, I highly recommend this place.
- ping_pong 6y agoRidesharing is dead globally, in almost every country all at the same time. This is as catastrophic position as Airbnb, except Airbnb was profitable. I'm a huge Uber fan, a shareholder (unfortunately), and have many friends that work there currently, but this is as close to an existential crisis as they will ever face. Saying they will restart hiring is extremely naive. They could be a dead business if things don't go very right for them in the next 9 months, most important of which includes have a vaccine.
