eBay to Layoff 9% of Their Full Time Staff

[hurley_byrd_ias]

I just read an article about eBay laying off over 1000 full time employees, about 9%.  These layoffs are to take place this upcoming Wednesday.  Plus they will be reducing Contracts for Alternative Labor Force companies.

There is already a long thread about this (non) issue.

There's a post about this that was posted earlier this week.. Does not affect buyers and sellers.

I'd like to see any evidence that this doesn't affect buyer or sellers.

Big whoops! Thanks for correcting.

Fewer people tinkering with stuff and fewer diversions for management, could be a good thing.

Virtually every major player in the "tech" sector are cutting staffing levels. Salesforce just announced another small cut due to last years 10% being insufficient.

Do a web search for "companies that have had layoffs in 2023" 

Do any of those companies that had layoffs in any way affected you as a consumer or seller?

If so then chances are yes it could affect you here

Your welcome anyway!  I did a search for layoffs and the result showed nothing recent.  So I was posting this as an FYI.   But still.....   you're welcome. I won't waste your time ever again.
