LinkedIn Layoff: Layoff news is not surprising anymore, what the suspense remains is about which company now. Will it affect my department? Is it in my workplace? This time, the company that has joined the bandwagon of handing over pink slips is Microsoft owned LinkedIn. At the outset it might feel a little ironical because LinkedIn is one of the leading social media platforms which people sign up for to extend network and look for potential jobs, and now a firm that help people get jobs is lowering headcount for its workforce.
Nicole Zawacki another employee at the company, writes that “Today I’m taking a little time to myself to process, but if anyone has any positions within Talent Acquisition or your Diversity team, or know of someone who does, I would sincerely appreciate any advice.”
