100’s of roles gone, more to come. What’s the state of google? Alphabet union: “Tonight, Google began another round of needless layoffs. Our members and teammates work hard every day to build great products for our users, and the company cannot continue to fire our coworkers while making billions every quarter. We won’t stop fighting until our jobs are safe!” https://time.com/6554374/google-layoffs-2024-union-backlash-amazon-tech-cuts/ #google #layoffs
Jesus it started as 30k then a few k into 700 now hundreds. Who are the 14 people laid off?
You mean 3 people that were llaid off?
They’re doing it in bite size pieces rather than big splashy wave to avoid the bad PR
Enough of these dogpiling threads. A 0.5% layoff is hardly anything.
Denial right up until it’s your role that’s eliminated. Then it’s time for anger and depression.
Exactly. PAN guy gets it
Not a layoff then maybe a singular team shut down or got reorged. Let's not pretend like things like this didn't happen pre-covid as well.
When they happened pre-covid they would give the people impacted a much longer time (like 6+ months) to find a new job internally - so they didn't have to call it layoffs at all. Example: Google Fiber being placed into maintenance mode.

Go daddy lol
There have been hundreds, external reports at thousand. We don’t know much more except that there’s more coming
That's so shitty. That pipchai doesn't even share the details of the company activities with employees. Brin and page were no better too, with how the Rubin scandal was handled while it was happening and during the 2019 walkout. Aholes in the ruling class.
Once considered smartest company has made blunders in hiring people and talent acquisition decisions such that they’ve been terminating people left and right for more than 2 years now. What else to call them? Definitely not Smart. Also, Google is no longer as innovative as it used to be earlier (for whatever reasons). They’re into too many things and trying to juggle multiple hats at the same time - Not a good decision for any market leader company. Quality of services is not improving and now Google is focusing more and more on commercial aspects rather than innovation and betterment of services.
Google has been declining for the last 10 years, wake up
G is declining since Eric S left it
They are hiring for so many roles though
Not in US
Google is, despite these minor setbacks, still the best company that has ever existed. It's even more than a company. It's where great ideas meet to produce great products in an environment that's fostering excellence and accountability, but it's also rewarding for merit. Prove me otherwise!
Lol
No one here thinks that anymore.

Doesn’t even count until it’s in thousands.
Hundreds can be thousands.
Doesnt count at several thousands even. Its less than 1%. That is close to natural attrition
