Uber does not have a hiring freeze for engineering. They are for non tech functions. Source: I work at Uber and I’m hiring.


What are the open reqs for? SWE? DL? I think for some highly sought-after roles, you never fully freeze hiring. There are also several pipelines for hiring, and some may get shut-off while others remain. Diversity candidates may not see a hiring freeze, for instance.


So y'all do have a hiring freeze?


Right, a selective hiring freeze is still a hiring freeze.

Engineering would be the very last thing to get cut, as there will instantaneously be posts here and all over the internet.

Freezing non-tech hiring is the canary in the coalmine. Like when companies start scaling back freebies.

Once the downward trajectory starts it almost never reverses.

I'm sure the people downvoting you know this and are simply mad you called a spade a spade.


I think it’s pretty paternalistic to think that you’re a better judge of what is good or bad for someone than that person themselves. There are plenty of people who are anti union because they’ve rationally concluded they would be worse off.


I'm genuinely curious to read what your edit would have been so that it didn't appear that I was putting myself into one of these groups.


Sorry, I probably shouldn’t have used “you.” I meant generally… “people who make this argument”


Uber does not have a hiring freeze



Headlines are sometimes wrong :)


“One by one the old parking lots, gas stations, and muffler shops are being transformed into new structures and uses.”

Not if the SF Board of Supervisors has anything to say about it. They’ve actively blocked the transformation of parking lots into dense house as recently as this year. SF is anti housing somehow wrapped in a veneer of progressivism.


Wat?


Don't feed the trolls.


That neighborhood itself calls itself the East Cut. They have signs on all the light posts proudly proclaiming it


No 2019 tag in the title?
