Google layoff email shows real empathy
While it's clear every Tech company is racing to layoff, Google's layoff email is lightyears ahead of Microsoft. The lack of empathy and poor optics (it's showtime????, sting concert, purposefully ambiguous language in the email etc.) is making me think Satya is a souless retard. To be honest, I was proud of Satya and his work and used to think how badly Sundar is screwing up the cloud wars. But holy fck, if I could ever get hired by Google, I'd leave in a heartbeat. I feel bad for M1 and M2 managers because they seem equally clueless on what's going on and sometimes come across as they are equally happy that they still have a job and if they'll continue to have a job.
Bro Did you see what Amazon did?
Brain fart
Yes.
Of course. I think OP is Indian and they always like talking about the Indian CEOs like they are their buddies since kindergarden, Sundar , Satya, addressing them by first name like, I know that successful guy and every fart he takes. So they come up with all random subjects about those successful Indian antreprenours. Like which of them is smarter, which of them did a better job doing something, which of them did something wrong, Do they deserve the Indian cross for bla bla. And so on and so forth.....truth is....no one GAF.
You know it's the pr team who write these communique, right?
What empathy? All they care about is their $$$. All of them
> how badly Sundar is screwing up the cloud wars. Sundar doesnât manage the cloud business or strategy directly
Pretty sure they chatgpted that shit. Stop sipping that google koolaid (you are not even a google employee ffs) and get back to leetcoding.
The laid off ppl donât give a f**k about how those letters had been written. The outcome is the same.
What have you been drinking? Your mortgage lender doesnât care what wording had been used to lay you off. The only thing that matters is that a person is let go and they are unemployed from now on, period. You mention XXI century, but people are effectively thrown away the same way as they have always been in history. Especially at Google who didnât even care to personally communicate that through managers! At least here Microsoft does much better, but again, I donât care if outcome is the same.
I donât want to defend our corporate overlords, but how else can you perform layoffs for 12k people on the same day?
The reason is they were not competent enough to not hire a crazy amount of people in the last two years. Youâre looking for a reason that doesnât exist.
Completely agree. This was what I felt as well.
I donât understand this post.
That's fine if you don't have context on what is being discussed. Juniper isn't affected. So maybe this post doesn't apply to you.
Oh I know what is being discussed. I just think the post is silly. I didnât want to say that. But I guess I have to now. How good or bad a âlayoff emailâ is doesnât indicate a thing about actual empathy or how good an employer is.
