Xero裁员16%， 800人

Polypharmacy

Accounting software maker Xero has become the latest technology company to announce major staff cuts, telling investors on Thursday it would axe up to 800 roles.

Xero employed 4915 people in September last year, according to its latest company filings, which means the cuts represent about 16 per cent of its global workforce. It’s not clear yet how many positions will be affected in Australia.


The move highlights the deepening downturn in the technology sector, which surged in the pandemic amid record-low interest rates and intense investor demand but has now come back to earth. Australia’s most successful technology company, Atlassian, said it would cut about 500 positions earlier this week.

In a statement to the ASX, Xero said it expected its expenses-to- revenue ratio would significantly increase next financial year but that the job cuts, which will affect between 700 and 800 positions, would streamline its business and improve profitability.

Xero's chief executive Sukhinder Singh Cassidy said the decision to cut jobs had not been made lightly. "Today's decision does not take away from the significant contributions from everyone at Xero," Cassidy said.

是挺多，不过长痛不如短痛，如果冗余严重，还不如一刀解决问题

不知道他们疫情期间有没有扩招，记得2021年的时候他们联系我招Principal engineer，估计疫情期间也招了不少。这公司网上口碑还不错，号称养老厂

应该是扩招不少，裁完也就回到2021年9月水平，算是仁慈了

The layoffs at Xero, and indeed, across the tech sector, need to be seen in the context of an industry-wide hiring boom that’s been under way since the start of the pandemic. For all of Singh Cassidy’s knife wielding, Xero’s job numbers will only fall back to where they were in September 2021, when the froth was just starting to build in the sector.

其实这个数据不太准确，应该是 裁员15左右，大概700-800人。公司给的赔偿其实还不错，至少12周的补偿，而且今天起不用再干什么活了，但是说实话，在澳新这种普遍躺平的大环境里，XERO绝对是躺的最平的几家公司，以后要找类似工作环境的工作的确不容易。

其实方案早就准备好了，老的CEO在公司干了很久了，对员工都有感情，不忍心裁掉自己的员工，但是又没有办法和董事会对着干，于是干脆就辞职了。新的CEO一上来就直接人头滚滚，直接给董事会交满分卷。

都是一盘棋，小员工么，当好棋子

如果三个月内找到工作，还是挺赚的，还得一部laptop

其实切的挺狠的。如果能不被裁， 还是最好不要，当然已经有下家的另论

凛冬将至，一旦有公司大规模裁员，那些还在犹豫的就会动手，这种大规模的加息，对经济基本上等于直接下刀子割肉，带放血, 看还能撑多久
