Mass layoff has started?


Thought this was interesting. Across 160 teams of researchers, just about all failed to make good life outcome predictions on things like GPA, evictions, layoffs, and others. Data followed 4.5k families across 15 years, with 13k features (varied over time). Haven't looked at it directly yet, but will be turning the docs and data inside out... In the meantime, authors claim this as showing the limits of ML. Oh, and it's published in PNAS, so you know there's some big publication energy there.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia
This doesn’t look comfy.

I’d rather quit than revise this agreement.

What the heck is UKG, MNCs, Zscaler, and most of the other words in that message.

Given you know someone who knows someone that got laid off, mass layoffs are the only possible conclusion.
UKG had a big ransomware attack early this year that spooked a lot of their customers. Wouldn’t be shocked if this was part of the fallout.
They also are going through a big merger of Ultipro and Kronos. Meaning lots of redundant jobs.
Layoffs are terrible, but but keep in mind, UKG merged with another company— layoffs impacted only around 100 employees (out of 12,000) and the reason stated was redundancy.
Layoffs are common with mergers. Anyone who expected no changes as a result of the merger obviously hasn’t been through this before.

Yeah but the messed up part is ukg is still hiring a ton of positions and didn’t even try to offer current employees those spots rather than being let go….
Kronos also had a huge data breach in December so I imagine they’re hurting a bit.
Looks like a start up
Also they had a massive breach in December (and availability issues for over 6 weeks), I am sure their customer base is lower now and new business is not that hot (we passed them because of it)
I’m in industry and one of our competitors just laid off a ton of people too.
Don’t know what any of this means. Is there a glossary
