“The laid off software engineer says Google is randomly firing people.” This is sad 😔 #google #layoff https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/google-fires-employee-after-8-years-of-service-engineer-says-company-is-randomly-firing-people-2491715-2024-01-21
Why so much tears about it? Any company should fire low performers and other ballast periodically.
If they fired just low performers. W hole teams are being fired. A director wanted to return to bed an ic, fired. A ni person still on the team, and a high performer of 17 years is gone. There is no discernible rationale behind the lady offs (even my director does not know there reasons). No explanation from the people in charge apart from platitudes.
It’s a for profit company it can fire whatever it thinks is right . Does companies sue when the employee leave for higher tc or jump the ship in a month of joining . Deal with it losers
15k jobs opened in Hyderabad!
honestly that's pretty accurate description. they are randomly firing people, already lost 3 swes from my team. it's pretty crazy
12K during 2024. 15K so far. That adds up to 27K. We need to cut ~23K more before the company gets to the level where there is work for everyone. Today, half of Google is a bunch of entitled old farts talking about how great it was 10+ years ago. Cut them!
Its employment at will in USA. Any side can void the contract anytime. Welcome to capitalism.
Perhaps they are picking people using astrology AI? If only the inner planets are used then there is no age discrimination and it should be legal.
This number includes the previous round of layoffs. Thread title is misleading.
Both my Google friends found internal transfer within 3 days after the layoff. I think they are fine. This is just an autonomous reorg in the shell of layoff so they can please the wall st and take their stock sky high again
Pretty sure that number is not correct
