San Jose, California-based eBay, a multinational e-commerce company, has announced a 9% reduction in its workforce in a second round of layoffs this year after 800 positions were eliminated in February.
The reduction will impact approximately 1,000 employees.
According to CEO Jamie Iannone, “Our strategy is working. The company is continuing to capture the significant opportunity ahead and requires us to make thoughtful choices about where we focus and invest.This step was taken to ensure we continue to operate from a position of strength.”
Change is constant, and it's coming. Tomorrow will always come, no matter how much you try to ignore it. Life offers no guarantees, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you wondering, "Am I Next?"
