Several people just got notice of their jobs being eliminated, and more layoffs will be announced in July. But there’s bountiful piles of cash to spend on high profile sports sponsorships that allow the CMO to travel the world and pretend he’s a... — read more 

Lot of high profile exits

From what I have seen lately, many experienced workers are checking openings in the background but holding off on changing jobs until companies start hiring more steadily again. Once that happens, we'll see a major exodus of talent.

I work for Q, but I hate working here enough to buy its competitor's flagship.

You guys are hilarious! Depressed when the stock is down. Depressed when the stock is up. Depressed when there are layoffs. Depressed when there are no layoffs.

You are a savior for our exec team
