“Google is expected to implement its new employee rating method, as part of which about 2% of employees are expected to be fired - about 3,500 jobs cut. But the bulk of the job losses stem from a significant change in the company's marketing and advertising division, among other things due to Google's implementation of AI tools, and the greater use of automation in these divisions worldwide” https://en.globes.co.il/en/article-concerns-grow-over-imminent-layoffs-at-google-israel-1001467388 #layoff #severance
This doesn't seem related to the layoff. Article cites "new employee rating method, as part of which about 2% of employees are expected to be fired" it only correlates numbers to the new Grad rating system which weighs NI at 2%
Today’s wave seems more than 3000 already
Those are just rumors. Nobody really knows how many were fired.
Yeah, just look at the source OP refers to. I doubt Globes got a hold of some internal knowledge. Nice to see the article uses a photo of the ugly building that hosts Google's office in Haifa, though.
Pretty sure it’s more than 3000.
Seems like Tech might need a Union soon too.
I'm afraid too much diversity for that. There will always be a H1b ready to drink koolaid and avoid unions
Really fucking sad and should be illegal
And this is not part of 30k?
30k is a BS number. There was an article that an org with 30k people TOTAL was expecting layoffs. Headline: “30k worried about layoffs”. AI newsbots transformed this into “30k will be laid off”. It’s literally fake news.
Are Managers, Director, VPs also impacted in these google layoffs?
Sad. But it is the first wave. Blind said will layoff 30k in 2024
Yes and blind has proven to be always right
If anyone actually read what the 30k was referencing they would know that the actual quote was layoffs in a 30k org, not the whole 30k lol
