Comments on: MySpace Isn’t Done Yet: Big International Layoffs Come Next

I really have to wonder- just what exactly does a MySpace employee really do? The customer service is either piss poor or non existent. When my 14 year old daughter masqueraded as a 17 year old, I asled them to remove. The reply I got back was “log in yourself and delete it.”

What the hell does a thousand employees at MySpace do? Answer: nothing. You would think that maybe one person- just one- in this whole organization would have a clue how to promote this organization into a successful business model?

Considering MySpace’s track record- an amateurish look, sleazy ads, unresolved security holes, the aforementioned piss poor support- and could we not forget their server going down for 12 hours?- that I would hope that future employees see these peoples “MySpace career” as exactly just that- a joke.

i am one of the recently laid off. i was hired in a mass hiring spree in novemeber through a staffing agency. about 2 months ago, myspace spent money renting rooms to re-interview people already interviewed, trained, and working for them, and a lot of those people are the people who got the ax and are now members of the myspace 30% club. some employees from the staffing agency are still employed despite poor attendance. i had perfect attendance, and got the ax. there are also recently hired employees still there. the entire department in charge of searching out the child porn on myspace has been let go. ALL OF THEM. they were also in charge of searching out hate groups, predators, etc.
