Lol lay-off the Sales team of google cloud. I’m sure that’ll reduce enterprise fears that google cloud will be killed off. If you tell sales to grow it or else you encourage nasty short sighted behaviors e.g. audit them and request a true-up a la oracle style. This just reconfirmed google cloud shouldn’t be used
what's the true up a la orcale style? sorry new to tech
Basically, lawyers start to fuck around your servers. You have to let them into all your machines to check if they use any paid oracle SW or HW, then match it to your active licenses.
"Senior leadership told them that there will be an “overall examination of sales productivity and productivity in general.” Wow, is anyone working at Google? Goodbye WLB
GCP, not Google:)
I’ve always been an A performer. This is news that’s actually uplifting. There’s never a lack of underperformers, so why is this a bad thing? Time to get rid of some fat.
Good. Google hired 70K employees during the pandemic (most of them in Cloud), and Cloud still isn't profitable. They need to trim the fat in GCP.
Or just trim GCP entirely.
Great... Im in the hiring loop for GCP PM and if theres layoffs in that org guess I might as well kiss my chances goodbye
With google lowering their budget on cloud, what have they done successfully in recent years? Theyre still making bank off of whats killing meta.
It's an ads business... Hardly a tech company working on truly hard stuff
lmao sure no truly hard stuff, just indexing the whole goddamn internet. what are you smoking?
They should fire sundar pichai. No new successful products since he joined.
Out of curiosity, what are the successful products before he joined? YouTube doesn't count.
@IBM he failed to acquire the good companies. Prior to Sundar google at least acquired many winners.
Fire sundar’s ass
And keep rest of his body?
Yeah. Could be the motivation he needs
Now would be the time for them to double down on GCP. Instead it looks like they're giving up, and will fall even further back behind AWS and Azure
Google woulda have been better off literally only doing search, browser, and android. They are lucky those 3 have managed to keep the other 95% of shit they do afloat... Crazy really how bad Google's been the last 15 years.
Lolwut? I’d say YouTube, Maps, Gmail are wildly successful. Not to mention Google drive, Assistant, Pixel, Nest, Chromebook, GPay, Waze which are all successful in their markets. Even GCP has the potential to be a wildly profitable product. The only reason it’s making a loss is that they’re reinvesting their profits back into the business to increase market share.
GCP about to fall and AWS/Azure gonna split the market 60/40 and call it a day 😂
More like 59/39/2 (the 2% is oracle)
Ok that’s fair lol
🤯
Yea read this yesterday in few online forums/news. Damn this is cruel, GCP leadership have actually told the exact words phew…
Mark was way more diplomatic...
Plot twist: Mark is the nicest. Jokes aside, you gotta be pretty naive to think any of them are better than the others. Satya literally told his employees to hit the road ("vote with your feet") if they don't like their peanut comp. Big tech is ruthless like any other empire/nation company in any industry.
