until they start a Hiring Tracker i'm not interested.
- Jeremy Toeman
I don't want to sound Pollyana... but why not cover the hires with the same fervor? FACEBOOK HIRES 15 IN WEEK (for example)
- Louis Gray
Exactly. This is my point on putting it on Tip'd http://tipd.com/Tech... Can't we talk about companies cutting costs and maybe growing? How about ways to help and build biz? There are always opportunities.
- Tris Hussey
Yet more proof - TechCrunch is F'd Company 2.0
- Rex Hammock
To be fair ebay has been gearing up for a layoff for a while now.
- Todd Hoff
Why does TechCrunch do stuff like that? I found TechCrunch mid year when they were tracking Yahoo employees -- where they were before Yahoo and where they were going after Yahoo. I mean... this is people's lives, not just 'news'. It's tactless and makes me sick. I stopped reading them after that.

@Mona N agreed seems like Arringtons had it in for Yahoo/Yang 4eva.
- adolfo foronda
This is the same Arrington who got his panties in a bunch over Dare Obasanjo calling him out for turning TechCrunch into the new F*ed Company, right?
- Sprague D
Does Mike want Denton to buy TechCrunch?
- Cyndy
ebay should not be on that list. tc jumped the sensationalism shark on that one.

+1 louis gray, There are tech companies hiring - they just may not be in silcon valley, Example: Exact Target here in Indy announced plans to add 300 over five years. http://indy-biz.com/2008...
- Lorraine Ball
@Carlos, I know people laid off from eBay.
- Louis Gray
There are still companies hiring in the Silicon Valley.
- Kevin Scott
i'm hiring. only 1 person, but it's still a net positive! :)

@Louis my comment was not in reference to it not happening. it was in reference to ebay being clumped into the whole startup/layoff issue to sensationalize the article. i think that you and i would agree that ebay: #1 is not a startup and #2 the layoffs were not a shocking turn of events that were caused as a result of a lack of vc funding. it is no secret that the business has been suffering for a long time and its infrastructure is in turmoil as we speak.
