Is Shopify really out of the layoff woods?
Reading that Global News article about the president saying no more layoffs is... interesting. It came after a pretty rough period of cuts, and honestly, the phrasing felt a little too much like 'calm before the storm.' I know a few people who were impacted earlier this year, and while they've landed on their feet, the sentiment was definitely one of instability. Now that things have supposedly stabilized, I'm curious if anyone working there currently feels that. Are teams still being restructured? Are projects being deprioritized? Or has there been a genuine shift back to growth and stability? It's tough to gauge from the outside, especially with no concrete layoff news circulating. It's like everyone's holding their breath. Curious to hear from anyone on the inside if the 'all clear' signal feels genuine or just a strategic statement.
Anyone else feeling the Shopify hiring freeze vibe?
Just been browsing LinkedIn and Glassdoor, and it feels like the hiring gates at Shopify have slammed shut. I've seen a few roles I'd be perfect for, but they've been up for ages, or worse, disappear entirely. There's no official word on layoffs, and the president even said things were stabilizing, but the silence on new hires is deafening. It's got me wondering if the 'no more layoffs' comment was more about stopping the bleeding than a sign of green shoots. Anyone in engineering, product, or even marketing seeing similar patterns? Is it just a general market slowdown affecting them, or is there something specific brewing internally? I'm not looking to jump ship just yet, but it's hard not to feel a bit of unease when the hiring spigot seems to have been turned off so abruptly. Feels like a lot of folks are on edge.
Is Shopify's compensation model sustainable long term?
I'm relatively new here (product designer, just over a year), and while the starting salary was great, I'm starting to wonder if it's sustainable. I've heard whispers about performance reviews being used to justify lower raises this year. Has anyone who's been here longer seen this happen before? I'm trying to figure out if I should be looking for another role where the long-term compensation growth is more predictable. I understand the equity piece is important, but if the stock keeps tanking, it's not really worth much. I'm curious to hear perspectives from people in engineering, product, and sales, especially those with 3+ years at Shopify.
Layoff rumors are getting to me - Can't focus on my work
Seriously, I can't focus. I'm a senior dev on the Polaris team, been here almost 4 years, and the constant chatter about layoffs is killing my productivity. Every Slack message, every meeting invite... I'm just bracing for bad news. I know Shopify's had a rough year, and the stock price isn't great, but damn, I really like my job and my team. Has anyone found a way to actually *work* through this uncertainty? Meditation? Whiskey? I'm open to suggestions. I'm starting to think I should just start leetcoding again, just in case...
Heard from a friend in recruiting, potential hiring freeze coming
Take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but I have a friend in talent acquisition who mentioned they're anticipating a possible hiring freeze across some departments soon. They weren't able to give me specifics, but the implication was that it's related to internal performance reviews and some restructuring discussions happening at the VP level. This is all second-hand info, so I can't vouch for its accuracy, but I figured it's worth sharing. My friend said if you are interviewing, to try and expedite the process.
Severance package details? What did people get in past layoffs?
Hypothetically speaking, if Shopify were to do another round of layoffs, does anyone know what the typical severance package looks like? I'm trying to get a sense of what to expect, just in case. I know things can vary based on role and tenure, but any data points would be helpful. Specifically, I'm curious about things like weeks of pay, benefits continuation, and stock options. I know there were layoffs last year, but details weren't really discussed. If you're comfortable sharing, please do. Trying to be proactive here, and plan for the worst. Appreciate any info.
Is anyone else feeling super anxious about layoffs right now?
I've been at Shopify for almost 4 years, and this is the most uneasy I've felt. I'm on the merchant success team, and the general vibe is just...off. We've had a couple of big projects quietly put on hold, and my manager has been unusually vague in our 1:1s. I know the economy is still shaky, and e-commerce growth has slowed. Anyone else seeing signs within their teams? Or am I just being paranoid? I really like it here and the thought of starting over somewhere new is really stressful. I've already started updating my resume just in case. Ugh.
Seriously considering leaving before the axe falls...
I'm so over this. Three years I've poured into this company, and for what? Constant anxiety about whether I'm going to be next on the chopping block. The writing is on the wall – projects are being cancelled, budgets are slashed, and everyone's walking on eggshells. I'm in engineering, and even we're not safe. I'm actively interviewing, and honestly, I'd rather take a pay cut and work somewhere less stressful than wait around to get blindsided with a severance package. Anyone else feeling this way? Is it better to jump ship now?
Heard through the grapevine: possible cuts in the support org?
Take this with a massive grain of salt, but I overheard some chatter in the break room today that the support org might be facing some layoffs. Apparently, they're looking at ways to 'streamline' the customer service experience, which usually means cutting headcount. I don't have any concrete details, just a rumor from a friend of a friend who works in HR. If anyone has more info, please share. I feel bad for those folks.
Anyone else getting nervous? Q3 performance review coming up...
I've been at Shopify for almost 4 years now, in a pretty niche role within the marketing team. Honestly, I love the work and the people. But I can't shake this feeling that something's coming. Q3 performance reviews are always a little stressful, but this year feels different. There's been a lot of talk about 'efficiency' and 'restructuring' in leadership meetings, and I keep hearing whispers about teams being consolidated. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the lack of transparency is killing me. Anyone else feeling the same way? Or am I the only one bracing for impact?
