A friend's son, who I have known all his life, is leaving LinkedIn. I had dinner with him when I was in California 12 days ago. I wonder if this will change his mind. I also wonder if LinkedIn made this decision because they were bleeding to many employees.
Is there a particular reason for that bleeding? I’m assuming that it’s different from a regular churn.
Same reason GitHub is bleeding employees. (Microsoft acquisition causing forced changes at the current lifecycle of the companies)
Is that really the case? I thought Github is actually thriving under M$.
In some areas yeah they are. I’ve interviewed a few folks who are tremendously unhappy though where as previously it seems like they had one of the most content and happy workforces in tech.
I thought it was not a good idea to be unhappy about the previous work place in an interview?
Semi-jokingly: if they are happy, then why are they leaving?
I hope that most are going to explain it better than “unhappy”, but at the end of the day we all want a better future for ourselves.
