Unfortunately 25% at mozilla, 25% at booking, 25% at uber, 20% at linkedin, more at airbnb (obviously) shows how internal management teams are seeing revenues HUGELY shrinking.
This tells a lot about fact that stock prices are bad measurement of situation we're in. It's funny to observe that S&P and Nasdaq are at the February all time high, pre-covid levels. Let that thought sink in.
- cft 6y agoI think this will be written up in the history books, like in the fall of Rome: "stock market decoupled from the fundamentals".

Of course some companies will struggle during covid. There are others though that have grown and are beating their forecasts. The covid proof tech companies will absorb this talent and grow larger.
- rdslw 6y agoFor me, trying to say, that total net economic impact of covid is _zero_, is like gross negligence in analytical thinking. Sorry for being strong here. funny fact: I'm using (as we're hiring) 'What do you think of covid' as nice and quick question to judge reasoning ability. Conspiracy? bam. Flu like? bam. ends in a month? bam.
- almost_usual 6y agoThe fact you’re using that question in what I’m presuming is a technical interview is odd and also potentially insensitive to the candidate. I can’t imagine how I would respond if a family member or someone I’d known had just passed because of the virus.
- xxs 6y agoThat's quite weird, imagine: "Ohh well, my grapda passed in April. Personally, I spent 2 weeks puking.".
