  It seems to me that if @Uber fires 8% of its staff in product and engineering while simultaneously lifting its hiring freeze, the company is either admitting that they hired the wrong people in the first place or that they are pivoting their mission. https://techcrunch.com/...

  To our friends at Uber, if you're looking for product & engineering roles, please hit us up at http://gojek.jobs/. We would be really lucky to have you join us, and shape the future of Southeast Asia's tech ecosystem. https://techcrunch.com/...

  Turning @uber into @expedia, one lay off at a time. In a few years we will realize that @dkhos has led value destruction by devaluing the importance of tech to this company. It be a great part of @IAC then https://techcrunch.com/...

  Smart ex-Uber people have explained to me before why Uber has so, so many employees. It all makes sense... kind of. And yet... I can't help but think that Uber is massively overweight on headcount for the kind of product they have. https://twitter.com/...

  How did Uber have 265 engineers to spare, but none of them seemed to be working to make pickup times even remotely accurate, or to fix the thing where your incoming driver's car just spins in place on the map? https://twitter.com/...
