To anyone, hope this may help, but I just got laid off. Be wary and do not trust management. They will take every ounce out of you till the last minute when they just let you go. they LIE and make it a point to constantly say they don't do... —  read more 

What was hit the most? Is there more or are we done? Any news?

I am surprised by the fact that we do not have posts here as I am seeing hundreds of posts on other companies that are having layoffs (e.g., Twitter, Google, etc.) - Not sure why so much secrecy but that's where we are...

If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be EBAY layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

The earnings call is tomorrow and from what I can see, things are looking better. Do you think we'll do well enough to avoid any layoffs for a while?

There hasn't been a major round of layoffs in a while. I know that should be a reason to celebrate but an extended period at eBay without major layoffs means that something big is coming our way. Usually, the month to look at is February, so that's... —  read more 

We have been selling on ebay for over 20 years–total sales in excess of 4 million dollars. We have a 'concierge' account (top 2% of sellers) yet while other companies have figured out how to respond off-site- no one has answered our phone calls for... —  read more 

Hearing of a big Layoff going on in San Jose and Austin. Anyone getting affected

How many work at the company? What is the overall employee count at San Jose?

Have you heard anything about potential EBAY Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

Looks like the supporting PMO team is gone as well...

Attention all potential new highers/job sneakers to ebay, do not join/apply unless you like to be let go after only +/- 1 year. What a waist if you are looking for a great place to work and a steady paycheck! There is only constant unecessay... —  read more 

Weve been consistent for years, have thousands of unique items, and sell hundreds of thousands a year. June started being horrible, then it comes back and then sales disappear again. Weve offered free returns for months now and yet if you search by... —  read more 

The only company where employees are more scared of layoffs than eBay is Tesla. We are second on the list with 71.88 percent of people saying they are worried about being shown the door. Considering that number, I'm just surprised there aren't more... —  read more 

The entire product and tech org in India was laid off on the 14th, including a director. Also, many people from other teams like customer support (GCX) were also laid off. Many more will follow soon due to "performance" reasons.

Once again the brainy people are asked to leave to save money. With the last two layoffs, eBay is actually forcing itself into the band of third-rated tier 3 companies that cant afford to pay the highly talented. The company neither deserves nor can... —  read more 

As a seller of 20 years on Ebay I decided recently to close up all my selling pages and walk away from it, ebay has gone down the krapper in many ways, it's been cluttered up with scores of cheap JUNK that games the search too. Where I had $800 a... —  read more 

Do you think there will be EBAY Layoffs in 2019?

Or is it done for now? I'm asking about the US?

Not conspiracy theories - actual info? There were rumors going around more people would be shown the door before the end of the month, so I'm wondering if that's going to happen or not. If there is somebody in the know who'd be willing to share info... —  read more 

Mostly Managers and many ICs are let go today in another round of layoff. Second in 6 months, today's layoff impacted many Staff level engineers and mid-tier management. Ebay continues to fall under internal politics and crumbling under devious and... —  read more 

H1-b’s are willing to work for $20 a day and nobody seems to care how incompetent they are. If you don’t have another job lined up you had better not wait

American jobs are being cut from the US and moved to India, Europe, and wherever else eBay can find cheap tech labor. I, for one, refuse to do business with greedy corporations that lay off AMERICAN workers.

Let's see what 2014 and 2015 bring, ebay is not growing rapidly any more and had it not been for PayPal we'd have major issues right now. PayPal is basically supporting the other businesses we have.

I worked at two companies where Elliott came in. They will get a seat on the board. They will threaten management with a proxy vote to oust them if they don't concede to terms. They will sell off what they consider to be under performing or non core... —  read more 

If you are still working at this dump, it’s temporary. The remaining employees will be replaced by Indian contractors. If you think it couldn’t get any worse, you’re wrong. It’s pretty bad when your employees leave to go work at staples or lowes

So long to the retarded policy of always taking the side of the buyer and allowing international scam. You got what you deserved.

I quit working for eBay after sitting in long executive meetings, where management basically plotted ways to farm more and more money from Sellers, without any actual knowledge or research to show why they where doing it. They would 'create' market... —  read more 

Do you think we'll have (new) layoffs in San Jose.

ebay execs will walk around and brag/preach about diversity... Big words about "inclusion', 'opportunity', 'equality', 'merit'... This only applies to the bottom of the barrel positions in the call center floor - they need diversity when they need to... —  read more 

That’s the future I see for eBay, and once a faded company gets bought by private equity, anything resembling a good workplace is out the window. It’s all about squeezing profits and spending bare minimum. Customers will be even more unhappy because... —  read more 

Major layoffs are happening right now, San Francisco is being hit hard. From what I understand, this will continue until the end of the week. I really wish they would do it all in one go, stress of having to deal with this for days is not going to be... —  read more 

EBAY has no strategy aside from firing talented people to spend money on entry level customer service roles. The Sydney office now resembles an Indian call centre.

Nothing more to add. I was let go today, and even though I was not expecting it, I feel relieved as it's very stressful to work in an environment where you do not know if you'll have a job tomorrow. It's obvious there are challenges and that ebay... —  read more 

Honestly, can he build, grow and develop? The answer is know. Yep, cost cutting is his game and a monkey can do cutting - cut left, right, up and down - the profits will go up. Yeah, the company will go BK in a couple of years, it'll get acquired and... —  read more 

Our CIO is one of the biggest "all me and only me" types that ever walked the earth. Shareholders have got to wake up and smell the air - they have to ACTIVELY police the executives activities as they are representing a threat to the longevity of the... —  read more 

Just seeing posts from people on Slack that layoffs are happening in the Portland office, as well as news reports that it's happening in Israel.
