Godaddy showed another example yesterday of companies using COVID as an excuse to trim some fat. I’ve talked to dozens of people that work for companies that were finally able to get rid of some people that were tough to get rid of. As soon as workmans comp became more lenient they used it to drop the problems. Not saying all the people let go were problems but they showed their overlap when people started working from home and were judged individually and not as a group. All that being said, I felt Godaddy looked bad by saying that sales and future prospects looked great but they were laying off 800 people because of COVID.
I’m sure Godaddy struggled with the announcement. They realized that they can do as much, or more, business with less people. So they are. All the while saying COVID is the reason. It IS the reason but it wasn’t the cause. It was the change in routine that flushed out staffing issues. How do I know? I know because their sales are up, they will guide up. We all know in the industry that people are moving online and using domains to hold their place. Sales are great for domain investors so I would imagine it translates to Godaddy as well. The domain industry isn’t big enough to swallow 800 people so the industry got smaller yesterday and that’s never a good thing.

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
I’d go work for GEICO.
