What has anyone heard about the layoffs at Gunderson? Was the NY office affected?

Try using "keep" - it's an app that you can share articles to and save for later but also often gets you around pay walls.

This is what I got from Keep from that one paywalled article:

Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian cut a group of associates in New York and Bay Area offices in September and this week due to a decline in billable work, according to four people with direct knowledge of the two rounds of cuts.

Coming on the heels of the firm’s deferral of associate start dates until January 2023, the layoffs at Gunderson affected about 10 associates in late September and about 20 more this week, according to sources in contact with affected individuals. Many of the associates recently let go were onboarded in recent years’ rush to hire corporate lawyers, only to be let go shortly after joining the firm.

@gunderson sorry that was a weird brain fart when I posted the first comment. The app is called Pocket; the app icon looks like a back pocket on a pair of jeans and is pinkish in color on a white background.

Dang, I can't find any articles either. Can someone post what they are seeing?

I haven't heard much about it. Only heard about the lay offs, that's all nothing more. Waiting for answers because I have acquaintances from Gunderson and I'm too shy to ask them.
