Uber CEO says changing employee benefits 'is a risk we decided to take'

- mplanchard 1y agoThis is one of those things where you’ve got to assume they’re aiming for some employees to quit. A paltry one month’s severance after five YEARS is already not particularly impressive, and there’s no way it was costing the business any significant amount of money: likely, it was helping to retain some people who were close to the five year mark, but otherwise I can’t imagine the majority of employees were making it to five years anyway. Bumping it to eight (and still just one month it sounds like?) is just such obviously bad optics that I can’t imagine the optics not being the point.
- ronbenton 1y agoYes my company is also clearly aiming for attrition through resignation rather than layoffs/severance
- bigfatkitten 1y agoDoesn't Uber have an 'unlimited' PTO policy, anyway?
