- danrocks 4y agoI don't know what "that" refers to, but I was at Nokia for a long time while they did 5,10,15% layoffs and it did destroy the morale, people started running for the hills as soon as they could. AirBNB did a 25% one-off layoff and is now doing fine. I don't know of any 70% layoffs but I tend to agree that cutting once and hard is the best approach, given what I experienced with paper-cut layoffs.

Later that year they hit $3.5B valuation https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/17/hopper-raises-170m-on-3-5b-valuation-as-travel-surges-and-its-fintech-tools-help-offset-variant-concerns/ https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/17/hopper-raises-170m-on-3-5b...
