'Kill list' | Mystery doc shows list of LinkedIn staff facing redundancy, days before HR announcement

Hundreds of LinkedIn employees found their names on a mystery document days before being told they were out of a job, according to reports.

More than 600 employees at the social network were made redundant this week, with the cuts comprising roles across engineering, product, talent and finance teams.

And it later transpired that a ‘kill list’ containing the names of those set to be let go was accidentally made available for all to see, before an official announcement was made.

According to Business Insider, a LinkedIn worker took to a jobs platform called Blind (think similar to Glassdoor) to reveal that a document titled “OctoberUpdate” had become available for all employees to view.
