Could this be true? Already there are many signs. Hiring freeze and several hints of productivity etc. What is the sentiment? #Google #FAANG #meta #Amazon Yoe 15 Tc 450k
Pichai should clarify his remarks immediately. The panic created with his statement will cause top performers to look outside, not what you want when your plan is to increase efficiency.
Look outside where? No big company that a Google engineer would want to work for is hiring.
Looks like we facing the same dilemma my twitter friend
I did and it is anything but clear…..some cuts? Is it 20%?
my guy, 20% more EFFICIENT, not 20% smaller
This is what happens when you reply without reading the email
How are they measuring efficiency?
And reducing headcount != layoffs. It is mostly reducing hiring
I assume moon will be shot less for a period of time.
Op doesn't know how to read. Oh well
G is so inefficient that they will need to cut 60% to get the 20% efficiency gain.

Don’t think google is robinhood bad to layoff 20%.
Get your facts straight. We did about 30%. Snap did 20%.
