not at linkedin it ain't
- Macha 3y agoLinkedIn the company, sure, but that's a lagging indicator after the earlier layoffs and freezes hurt their numbers. As a user of linkedin, my inbox is the busiest it's been all year since q4 began.
- oldpersonintx 3y agolagging? they got laid off today
- Macha 3y agoYeah, they got laid off today, because of historical slower performance, because other companies had hiring freezes from 1.5 years ago to 0.5 years ago.
- oldpersonintx 3y agoas opposed to getting fired for performance information from the future?
- Macha 3y agoAs opposed to customers loudly signalling they're cutting back on hiring, and LinkedIn potentially cutting back in anticipation of leaner times. Also as opposed to the idea that others in this thread seem to be suggesting that LinkedIn knows the future so is laying off to save costs in an anticipated tougher future, as opposed to looking at their recent history and laying off based on that to appease shareholders that they're taking corrective action.
