First, I'm sorry to hear about the 435 people affected by the Uber lay off yesterday. Second, if you happen to be affected by the layoff, please comment here if you need referrals from people at other companies. Third, a very big thank you to everyone that has offered to refer our comrades affected by the layoff. EDIT: I was told that most people can't DM because they have few chats left to use. I believe it will be helpful to reply to someone willing to refer. Honestly, I didn't anticipate this post to go this far. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has in one way or the other offered to help, this will mean a lot for some of those affected if they happen to see it. Again, thank you to everyone in the community for the supports. Onward!
For those that got laid-off, DM for referral at Oracle. I am switching to FB/Amazon in 2 weeks, DM me for a referral then as well. As a fellow engineer, I totally understand how hard your situation could be. Happy to help.
Thank you, Larry! Hopefully, this gets to those affected.
Avoid Oracle, unless you wanna get laid off again!
DM me for amazon
DM for FB.
dm for microsoft
Hahaha
don’t bother with MS
Don’t feel too sad for them. They’ll be more than ok
Someone has to go home to their family and say they don't have a job. That's not cool
It's tech, there's a job right around the corner
Incredibly sad for a friend who got laid off. It's much worse when your US Visa is tied to your employment. DM for Facebook
DM for referral. We can move fast on H1B transfers :)
What is ur company?
Bookmark to show blind isn’t always toxic, sometimes wholesome.
I legitimately was looking for the comment that said "DM for uber referrals".
I'm still waiting for the comment that is like "TC before you were shitcanned or GTFO"

How many were laid off? SDE's?
The report has it that it's about 435. I'm not too sure, it will help if someone from Uber can answer this.
I think it was 435 total, 260 out of them - eng.
