Google started round 2 of layoff. Round 1 happened 1 year back in January where 12k were laid off. Initially only the contractors were impacted, but now even SWEs are getting layoff emails and the numbers are growing. There was some rumours of layoff last month in the news - https://www.cnbctv18.com/education/google-likely-to-layoff-30000-employees-post-new-ai-innovation-18662731.htm (30k is although very high number, the impact canât be this high) Is layoff season back? Twitch also laid off 35% of employees few days back.
Mostly in US or in India as well ?
Actually my org was mostly non-US (surprisingly).
My org just sent out a notification that we had layoffs. No idea how many
K&I? I got it too.
Sorry to hear. May I ask what org that is?
That article is still garbage and probably has little to do with the layoff. If you predict Google's going to lay people off any given month, you'll be correct about 50% of the months.
Laying off via email at 9PM is absolutely brutal. So much for Sundar being regretful
Last time it was via email at 2 AM in the night.
He likes to play cricket đ
I got laid off
Seriously?
Sorry, I did as well
I remember when IBM sent out layoff email in 2000 late night. This seems similar to that.
So Google is the new IBM đ
Google is the new Cisco
Damn thats wild
I think itâs time to layoff Sundar. So much failure.
The word you are looking for is terminate
Terminate so he becomes ex-googler, i.e. exterminate?
Tbf google round one was relatively small %
