Good read, surprised HR is ran lean, feels bloated
Don't confuse recruiting with hr ... recruiting has become so bloated
This ☝️
TLDR: Safe: - profit employees - HR (they’re already lean) At risk: - new initiatives - event planning or employee benefit employees - contractors
Generic and irrelevant for current layoffs. Cutting these roles won’t get you to the 10k+ number. There’s only so many contractors, event planners etc. area 120 at Google was like 100s of people
I mentioned area 120 which was “new initiatives” for Google. I agree that broadly looking at the portfolio and cutting based on ROI etc but then things get a bit blurry and not clear categories like the author originally wrote
This guy is a genius. He deserves the Noble Prize.

I hope the DEI / ESG departments are considered benefits for employees or event planners and get canned. This is one plus to layoffs.
I'm surprised he didn't mention recruiters. Which are under HR. The recent layoffs supposedly did touch Amazon DLS, which is part of HR, too. STDI and FMLA are basic benefits, mandated by law in several ways, not the luxury ones. Also, we're getting layoffs advice from TikTok influencers now? 🤣
This is common sense
