20% of LinkedIn's recent layoffs were managers

I used to work for Large Tech Company and I would pretty frequently fly out to San Francisco Suburb for work. One of the more interesting time periods of that phase was when the office building I worked at for Large Tech Company was across the parking lot from LinkedIn in San Francisco Suburb. We frequently played a largesse game of hangman with the LinkedIn employees drawn on the windows across our parking lot. LinkedIn employees then were fun and living the Hooli roof meme for sure from our perspective.

That sounds suspiciously like the office location where you‘d see big cargo planes fly overhead once in a while.

Like the unmarked ones going to area 51 filled with engineers on their way to work?

An expensive distraction. The real interesting stuff is on Area 72.

In the 90's, the shadows of the P-3 Orions regularly flying out of Moffett Field to hunt for submarines would pass over my house and briefly darken my living room many times a day in Mountain View.

I don't think linedin has those office buildings anymore. They did a land swap with Large Tech Company for some buildings Large Tech Company owned elsewhere.

There is no point in protecting your employer

I was just keeping the joke rolling.

I don't work for Google or anyone else on Stierlin Ct.

I used to work at Big Tech Company and would need to bike through Sterlin court to get to my office in building <redacted> campus.
