Ask HN: Have you been laid off ?, Hacker News

        

I work remotely as a front-end developer at a VC-funded, series B startup. Funding has dried up as investors with financial exposure to anything retail or entertainment-related are hemorrhaging cash. The company leadership told us that starting immediately, all employees (including the fully-remote workers like myself) are on mandatory unpaid leave. (Job cuts in) were already up a whopping % from the previous year [1]. Considering the COVID – 20 outbreak, I’m concerned that many other tech workers like me might be updating their resumes and entering a stagnant job market . Alternatively, organizations may view this as a great time to gain additional market share. What do you think? If you’re a tech worker, have you been laid off or do you expect to be laid off soon? If you are a hiring manager, what is the current hiring status at your company?
