The people who are employable got jobs really quick. The liberal arts degrees who got in as Guru's with no hard or soft skills outside the shopify eco-system are really struggling. Good luck.

With all due respect the amount of inflated egos in this over-saturated job market is laughable. I toss every resume I see that says "ex-shopify." As much of a laughing stock as Ex-Oracle which you dont see anyone advertise. If you want to get... — read more

Not posting this to troll but am I missing something? I feel bad for people affected by the sudden layoffs but I don't understand all the folks with "Ex-Shopify" as if its an advertisement. What makes former shopify folks so special in the current... — read more 

Now that we're done with layoffs (or at least I think we are, I don't have any insider info, just using logic) watch as Shopify starts we-ponizing PIPs to force people to quit or to outright fire them. This is even better than layoffs because there... — read more 

I started working at Shopify over 10 years ago, when the company was still growing and seen as the new player on the scene. Today, a week before I was set to go on parental leave for our second child, I was let go along with many other. It's an... — read more

I'm glad I won't be here much longer because I'm sick of the way this company is managed. My question is how do you see this place in a few years? I am afraid that the future will not be bright if some much needed changes do not happen. It amazes... — read more

I am not on PIP, but all the people I know who were, are no longer in this company. It seems that a miracle should happen here for someone to survive PIP?

Whatever the severance pay is, I would rather be laid off than survive, considering that I think it will only get worse here. I don't believe that anyone thinks it will get better?

I am disgusted. Are they actually trying to blame us for everything bad that happens in this company? Can they ever take responsibility, at least partially? This indicates the lack of good leadership, without which, I'm afraid, the company will... — read more

After the last set of cuts, everybody should have seen this coming. Things are only getting worse, not better. I'd like to think this will be the end of it but even after the 10 percent is cut I still won't be able to relax. Maybe being laid off... — read more 

So much for 'family'... If you are in Sales and Support, good luck... Tobi will fix it, hahaha...

If I had learned I was laid off I would have been overjoyed. Shopify has changed so much in a short time that I can't even recognize it as the company I used to enjoy working at anymore. The culture has shifted and is now a toxic mess of... — read more

It was mentioned before but I'll say it again. These layoffs have been ongoing for several months and they are much larger than most think. The latest round got media attention for some reason but it's far from the only (or even largest) round... — read more 

I'm not sure if there will be more today but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

R&D, Shop, Revenue & Operations, Shipping. They're all being silently let go. Pay attention on LinkedIn when you see more people "open to work".

I do not think there will be layoffs. I think the market will start to recover and things will improve for everyone. A lot of people wiht options got screwed, it's not a happy sight.

Will Shopify have layoffs on the engineering team side (this is in light of what happens as Deliverr gets acquired by Shopify - the stock price is dropping and there seems not to be any bottom)

Is anybody else worried results will be bad enough to cause layoffs?
