On Monday, Uber laid off 3,000 additional employees on top of the 3,700 employees cut two weeks ago. In a memo to the team, Uber’s CEO alluded to the creation of a public alumni talent directory as part of the company’s efforts to support departing employees.

That Uber alumni directory is now live. Similar to the official Airbnb layoff list, Uber’s version allows recruiters and hiring managers to filter laid-off employees by location and role. Additional details include whether the person is open to relocation and/or remote work, and any experience managing people.

Uber, the ridesharing service, laid off 3,700 employees (14%) last Wednesday. The layoff was concentrated in the company’s customer support and recruiting teams. Uber CEO’s letter to staff strongly hinted that more cuts are coming in the next week, including in engineering and product.

In addition, 400-500 employees are reportedly being cut from Uber’s subsidiary Jump, which is being offloaded to Lime as part of Uber’s investment in the electric scooter company.

Kabbage

Ex-Kabbage layoff spreadsheet lists over 100 employees

Layoff list, , ,

🌎 Atlanta, New York City ∙ 👩 Unknown # of employees ∙ 🖥 All departments

In late March, small business lending startup Kabbage furloughed a “significant number” of its 500 employees. It also shut down its Bangalore office. Hoping to use furloughs as a way of avoiding permanent layoffs, Kabbage had intended to bring back the affected employees once business conditions improved.

With the coronavirus pandemic continuing to decimate the economy, it’s unclear when that will happen. One source told Layoffs.fyi that the furloughs would last at least 2 months (through end of May). Another thought it was unlikely Kabbage would ever bring the furloughed employees back.

A Google spreadsheet called “Kabbagers for hire” has been circulating with over 100 names. See link below 👇if you’re hiring in Atlanta or New York City.
