Is PayPal's leadership clueless or just playing games?
Another round of layoffs, this time specifically mentioned in Israel. It's exhausting. They talk about 'strategic realignment' and 'efficiency' but it feels like they're just burning through talent. We've seen so many of these 'new chapter' announcements over the past couple of years, followed by cuts. How many more 'new chapters' can there be before people realize the book is just falling apart? It makes you wonder what the long-term plan actually is. Are they trying to be a lean startup or a global giant? Can't seem to decide. This constant uncertainty is brutal for morale, and honestly, for anyone trying to build a career there. Makes me question the stability and future outlook of the company in general, not just for those directly impacted today. What's the end game here?
Israel layoffs today - Anyone else affected?
Just saw the news about CTech reporting layoffs at PayPal in Israel today, May 27th, 2026. Anyone here in the Israel office get the dreaded email or call? This is really hitting close to home. Heard it was a significant number, but no official headcount from PayPal yet. Feels like the constant restructuring and 'new chapters' are never ending. Curious to hear from others who might be impacted or have insights into what's happening on the ground. Is it a specific department, or a broader sweep? Anyone have any info on severance or outplacement support being offered?
Post-layoff job search - how's the market for fintech roles?
So, I was part of the recent layoffs in Israel. It was definitely a shock, even with all the rumors flying around. Now I'm in the thick of the job search and honestly, it's a bit demoralizing. I was a Senior Analyst in the risk department, been with PayPal for 7 years. The market seems tough right now, especially for specialized fintech roles. Trying to figure out what skills are most in-demand and if I need to pivot my search. Any other PayPal alums out there navigating this? What kind of roles are you targeting? Any companies actively hiring in this space? Any tips for standing out in applications or interviews, especially coming from a big name like PayPal? Really appreciate any advice or shared experiences.
Anyone in Israel office heard about specific teams impacted this week?
Hey everyone. Seeing the news about the latest cuts, and it's pretty grim. I'm in the R&D side in Israel, been here for about 5 years now. Haven't gotten any direct comms yet, but the anxiety is through the roof. Feels like it's just a matter of time. Has anyone on the engineering or product side in Israel heard any whispers about which specific teams or projects are on the chopping block for this round? Trying to brace myself and maybe get a head start on updating my resume. It's tough when it feels so random and you don't know if your work is safe. Any intel would be appreciated, even if it's just rumors. Stay safe out there.
Severance package questions - what should I expect?
Okay, so let's say the worst happens and layoffs do hit my team (Product). What kind of severance package is PayPal usually offering? I've been here for 3 years. Are we talking a couple of weeks per year of service, or something more generous? Also, what about benefits continuation and stock options? I need to start mentally preparing, and understanding the financial implications is a big part of that. Any insights or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated. Please no BS, just actual firsthand knowledge.
Rumor: Layoffs hitting the risk management department?
Heard from a usually reliable source that the risk management department might be facing some cuts. Apparently, some roles are being 're-evaluated' and there's talk of consolidation. My friend works in that department (AVP level), and she's been unusually quiet lately. Anyone else hearing anything specific about this? I'm in engineering, so it doesn't directly affect me, but it's still unsettling to see this happening within the company. Seems like they're trying to streamline operations, but at what cost?
Anyone else feeling nervous about potential layoffs at PayPal?
I've been at PayPal for almost 5 years now, in a PM role in the SMB division. Lately, the vibe has been super off. My manager seems stressed, meetings are getting canceled last minute, and there's a general sense of unease in the air. I know other big tech companies have been doing layoffs, and even though our numbers look okay on the surface, I can't shake this feeling. Anyone else picking up on this, or am I just being paranoid? Is there anything we can even do to prepare?
PayPal - Burnout Central?! Rant Incoming.
Okay, seriously, I need to vent. The workload here is insane. We're constantly understaffed, deadlines are always unrealistic, and the pressure to deliver is relentless. My skip-level keeps talking about 'doing more with less', which translates to 'work weekends and never take a vacation'. I'm completely burned out, and honestly, wouldn't be *that* upset if I got laid off. At least I'd get a break (and severance, hopefully!). I've been looking for other jobs for months, but it's exhausting job hunting while dealing with this soul-crushing environment. This place used to be amazing. What happened?
Severance Package Details - What to Expect?
Just trying to prepare myself mentally and financially... What kind of severance package has PayPal typically offered in past layoffs? I know it probably varies based on role and tenure, but any general ballpark figures would be helpful. Also, does anyone know how they handle unused vacation time? Do they pay it out? I've got a decent amount saved up and really hoping I don't lose it. Been updating my resume and LinkedIn just in case, but this whole situation is stressful.
Heard Whispers About Reorg - Is My Team Next?
Been at PayPal for almost 5 years now, and I've seen some ups and downs, but the atmosphere lately is different. My manager has been acting weird – super vague in meetings, canceling 1:1s last minute. Heard through the grapevine that there's another reorg coming, supposedly focused on 'efficiency' and 'streamlining'. I'm in product, and our team has been pretty heads-down building some key features, but I know that doesn't always guarantee safety. Anyone else hearing similar things? Especially nervous since they already cut a bunch of marketing roles last year.
