Can confirm the Zillow layoff news. Just got the email - 500 employees impacted as of today, August 4th, 2026. HR is scheduling meetings. This is a rough one. Feels like a significant chunk this time. If you were impacted, my condolences. This is a tough market and a tough pill to swallow. Has anyone received details about severance or outplacement services? Seems like the company is trying to move quickly on this. Anyone outside of the affected teams hearing anything specific about the departments being hit hardest? Trying to understand the scope and the ripple effects. This is definitely going to change the dynamic around here.

Wow, 500 is a huge number. It's always disheartening to hear about layoffs, especially when it's such a significant portion of the workforce. The speed at which they're moving with HR meetings suggests they want to get this behind them quickly, but it doesn't make it any less painful for those affected. Hoping everyone impacted finds new opportunities soon and that the severance packages are fair and helpful during this transition period. This market is definitely unforgiving right now.

That's incredibly tough news. My thoughts are with everyone who received that email today. It's a brutal reality check when these big announcements hit. While the company might be aiming for swiftness, the human element of this can't be overlooked. I haven't heard anything specific about severance details myself, but I hope the company provides clear and supportive resources for those leaving. It's a difficult situation for everyone involved, and frankly, pretty concerning for the industry overall.
