Two questions ... 1. This is a somewhat odd spreadsheet to find semi-randomly posted to HN. Can anyone speak to its provenance?

2. Is something, not so public, going on at Sound Cloud or is this just normal turn over for a company of there size?



Hey there, this spreadsheet was made by SoundCloud employees of the Berlin office who are now looking for work. We are just helping to share it and hoped the HN community could help. Any companies hiring please post - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JDx5acZPvdmmSeMyEr77...


And that answers the big question running around in my head. Thanks !


But didn't most redundancies happen outside of Berlin, with offices being closed?

Or these are most technical redundancies (in Berlin)


They laid off 40% of their staff yesterday: http://www.vulture.com/2017/07/soundcloud-makes-major-layoff...


Can't find the link now but there was a post yesterday about them laying off a lot of staff. The layoffs weren't based on performance so a lot of good quality engineers will be looking new jobs quickly.




I find it even more strange that this "phenomena" happened with one of the few startups outside the Valley that did mass layoffs.
