I heard Google’s equivalent of Amazon’s pip called Support Checkins is at 16% next year. Amazon has 6% pip quota If you work 10 hours a day, 50 hours a week, will engineers be safe? Joining G but this seems like a quite recent news (less than a day)
Support check ins are not equal to pip
It’s equal to focus
@Salesforce: Correct. Even that might be a bit of a stretch. We'll see how it goes.
If you work 50 hours a week, you’ll be safe anywhere.
Yes G support check in is ridiculous and also targeting Nooglers. With the frontloading of stocks that drops your TC and support check ins, boring work, I don't understand the craze for Google anymore!
Heard a director gave all ppl in the org a support check in
wouldn't that reflect bad on him though? if all your plebs are on support check then you are not managing and choosing them well.
you can’t give negative rating now without checkin so i guess that director wanted to keep their options wide open =)
"Support check in" is probably one of the more dread inducing names I've heard. You just know that some evil HR guy was working on figuring out the optics for naming something which is, at the best a micromanagement reminder and at the worst, a precursor to PIP.
It’s equivalent to focus which is pre pip st amazon
Is that like preheat before baking
one implication (I think) is you're not eligible to switch teams, and if you leave, I think you get labeled as URA, which probably means ineligible for rehire. in general, it lines up with LE (least effective) aka no raise, no additional stocks in comp review PIP is more like "here's the plan for you to GTFO" all 2nd hand smoke, I've never been through either focus or PIP personally
Most of the FAANG were flying high because of the pandemic printing press, there was nothing special about the business, it was all free money and wall street was on cocaine. When tap shutoff due to sky high inflation, which by the way impacted more hourly wagers than WLB TC gang, things started coming down to earth.
Yes, the economy is being dialed back by the Fed with much higher interest rates.
It's not 16%. It's 100%. Only Sundar, Larry and Sergey will be left. They don't need employees anymore.
So you’re thinking google is the new Twitter lol
Google 2.0
I heard its 16.245%
You're right. They will let go of 30000.5 employees. For that half employee that they layoff, they'll keep his brain and use it for a deepmind cyborg they're working on because it's a L10 IC brain. The body is useless after feasting on all those treats in the microkitchens. So they'll layoff just the body of that person.
Yes. Google has been planning this for a while.
It's not about the hours. It's all about how much impact you can have.
Can’t agree more. Do you know any Google product can actually generate revenue these days.
Impact matters but remember that most Google teams have more people than impactful work so be prepared for a more political version of hunger games
