WHen can we expect more?

Layoffs are the new normal at PayPal. We can all kiss job security goodbye and embrace our new reality - which means always be prepared for the worse. Send out resumes, contact your friends or former colleagues in other companies...have some kind of... —  read more 

Looks like Layoffs in Timonium, New York and San Jose. Sounds like all those "new roles" were anything but transparent.

Does anyone know any more information about the upcoming mass layoffs? When? Where?

Currently hearing more and more talks about next Tuesday. Sounds like the only thing the CMO is good at it renaming departments and getting rid of people.

That's it for now

I don't work at PayPal, but my brother does, and he has seemed really nervous every time I talked to him in the last couple of weeks. I have a feeling he thinks layoffs are not done - which according to everything I've managed to find online is not... —  read more 

Since we know more layoffs are coming this month, is there any way to determine if they'll take place sometime this week or next week? More worrying is the last thing we need right now, especially so soon since the last round of layoffs. Hopefully... —  read more
