Confirmed: 58 affected in Seattle office today

Just to put a number to the rumors circulating, I can confirm the WARN notice for 58 employees in Seattle is official. My team had a few people tapped out this morning. It’s the same quiet, cold process as before—system access revoked, calendar wiped, and a generic meeting invite. If you haven't heard from your manager yet, you’re likely safe for today, but honestly, who knows what the cadence is going to be for the rest of Q4. I’m honestly just angry at how this is being handled. People who have been here for years are being treated like line items on a balance sheet. Please reach out to your colleagues if you can; it’s going to be a miserable week.

Is anyone even keeping track of the headcount anymore?

I logged into the portal this morning and noticed a few more empty squares in the directory. Then the news hits about the 58 people in Seattle. It feels like the company is just hacking away at limbs while we all pretend it's business as usual. What’s the end game here? Are we just trimming the fat until there’s no one left to maintain the legacy code? I’m exhausted by the constant uncertainty. It’s hard to focus on sprint goals when you’re wondering if you’re next on the spreadsheet. The transparency from leadership is nonexistent, just the same canned emails about 'strategic alignment' and 'optimizing resources.' We all know it’s just about pumping the stock price for the next quarter. If you’re still here, are you actively interviewing, or just waiting for the package?

The drip-feed layoffs are killing morale

Honestly, the constant anxiety is worse than the actual numbers. We get the email, we see the WARN notices trickling in, and then it’s just radio silence from leadership while we're expected to hit the same OKRs with 10% fewer people. 58 people might not sound like a lot to the analysts on Wall Street, but it’s 58 livelihoods and it adds massive stress to everyone who survived. I’ve been looking for an exit strategy for three months now, but the market feels just as frozen as our team’s hiring budget. How are you guys handling the constant state of 'am I next'? I’ve stopped engaging in Slack channels and just focus on doing the bare minimum until I find something else. The Expedia brand name doesn't carry the weight it used to, and it feels like we’re just being liquidated in slow motion.

Another round of 58 impacted today in Seattle

Just saw the WARN notice hit for Nov 21st. It’s 58 people this time. It feels like death by a thousand cuts at this point. I know it’s a smaller number compared to the massive cuts we’ve seen in the past, but the vibe in the office is just completely drained. You walk past empty desks and you don't even know if they left for another job or if they were walked out. Is this the end of the cuts for the year, or is management just trying to avoid a massive headline by doing these rolling layoffs every few months? If you were impacted, hope you have a solid runway and good luck with the job search. Let’s keep this thread updated if anyone hears which orgs were targeted this time.

Anyone else feel like the culture shifted post-merger?

Ever since the integration focus ramped up, the place feels like a shell of what it was two years ago. I’m seeing so many talented people jump ship voluntarily before they even get a chance to be laid off. It’s a constant churn of 'restructuring' every six months. I’m genuinely wondering if it’s worth sticking around for the vest, or if I should just start grinding LeetCode and get out before the next round of 2026 cuts happens. Does leadership even have a vision anymore, or are we just managed by a spreadsheet? I miss when we actually built features instead of spending 80% of our time in alignment meetings about why we aren't hitting travel booking targets. The AOL news coverage on the layoffs today just confirmed my suspicions—this isn't a temporary dip, it's a permanent decline in the quality of the engineering organization. If you're currently interviewing elsewhere, how's the market looking? Asking for a friend.

July 9th RIF: How deep did they go in your org?

Just got the email notification about the cuts today. The atmosphere in the office is absolutely toxic right now—everyone is walking on eggshells waiting for their status. I haven't heard a peep from my manager, and my Slack access is flickering in and out. Is this the 3,000 headcount reduction we were hearing rumors about, or is there another wave coming later this week? I’ve been here for three years and I’ve never seen morale this low. They keep talking about 'operational efficiency' and 'tech consolidation,' but we all know it’s just about hitting those Q3 targets to appease the street. If you got impacted today, feel free to drop your department below so we can get an idea of where the axe fell hardest. Stay strong everyone, this company is becoming a revolving door.

Is the Expedia growth story officially dead?

Seeing the news about the July 9th layoffs, I can't help but feel like we're just managing the decline at this point. Expedia used to be the place to be, but the last two years have just been a series of 'cost synergies' and massive restructuring efforts. It feels like the company is cannibalizing its own culture to keep the stock price from cratering. We keep hearing about 'transformation' and 'streamlining,' but at what point does a company stop being a tech product and just start being a skeleton crew holding together legacy code? I look at how much we’ve cut over the last few cycles, and it's clear the roadmap is just survival mode now. Is there anyone left here who actually believes in the long-term vision, or are we all just waiting for our RSUs to vest so we can jump ship? I’m exhausted by the constant uncertainty. It’s impossible to plan a career here when you’re looking over your shoulder every few months waiting for the next round of news headlines.

July 9th cuts: Anyone else just get the calendar invite?

Woke up to the meeting invite for 9 AM. I haven't even had my coffee yet, and my stomach is in knots. Seeing the reports on AOL, it looks like they weren't kidding about the scale this time. I’ve been with the team for four years, and I’ve watched us pivot so many times I’ve lost count. It feels like every six months we’re doing this dance of 'optimizing resources' while leadership talks about AI integration and long-term efficiency. Has anyone else in the tech org received the 'important update' invite yet? I’m hearing rumblings that engineering is taking the biggest hit across the board, but it’s hard to tell if that’s just office hearsay or actual intel. I’m currently logged into the VPN just to see if I still have access to Jira, but I’m terrified to refresh. If anyone is in the same boat, let’s keep this thread updated so we know which departments are getting cleaned out. Good luck to everyone, we’re going to need it.

Expedia's Future: Where Do We Go From Here?

With another round of layoffs hitting on July 9th, it's hard not to wonder about the long-term direction of Expedia. It feels like the company is in constant flux, trying to adapt to market changes or perhaps restructuring to boost profitability. While the news is out there, the exact details and the specific teams affected seem to be a bit murky. This uncertainty is what's really getting to me. Are these cuts strategic, or is it more about broad cost-saving? For those of us still here, it's tough to stay motivated when you see colleagues let go. Curious to hear from others about their perspectives on the company's strategy and what this means for our roles and the overall employee morale. Is this a necessary evil for survival, or a sign of deeper issues?

Expedia: This feels like a turning point. Thoughts?

Seeing the news about the latest Expedia layoffs today… not surprising, given the market, but still really disheartening. This isn't just a small departmental cut; 3,000 people is significant. It makes me question the long-term strategy and stability. Is this a sign of deeper issues within the company, or just a necessary, albeit painful, adjustment? I've been with Expedia for a while, and this feels different from previous smaller shakeups. Curious to hear from others who have been here longer or have a better pulse on the business side. Are we looking at a major restructuring? What does this mean for those of us still here, and for the company's future direction? Seems like a lot of uncertainty ahead.

Expedia Cuts - July 2026 - My Team's Experience

Hey everyone, saw the news about the layoffs on AOL.com and it hit closer to home than I expected. My whole team was dissolved yesterday, July 9th. Management called us in individually, said it was 'strategic realignment' and 'efficiency improvements'. Felt really cold and impersonal, to be honest. We're talking about 3000 people impacted, as some Hacker News posts were hinting at. Feels like a huge chunk of the company. Anyone else in affected departments? How are people feeling? Is there any clarity on what's next, like severance packages or outplacement services? Just trying to process this and figure out the next steps. So much uncertainty right now. Trying to stay positive but it's tough.
