Just a friendly reminder it's a bad idea to join Alphabet/Google now. The fact the company is still hiring and getting more Amazonized day by day (amazonized performance review, hiring an ex-Amazon People Ops lead) reminds me of "hire to fire" practiced by uncle Bezos. Also, joining other bets like Waymo becomes a worse idea. Stadia is being killed, Map and Waze getting merged signal that there are probably more products being killed/merged in the near future. If you have a secure job in a relatively secure industry/company, stay away from Alphabet now! Peace out. Edit: Alphabet bet -- Verily got 15% laid off, Intrinsic -- x% laid off #waymo #alphabet #google #layoff
this is a well known troll from closed forum.
I agree, the fact that Googlers now call someone else a troll simply because of voicing out something they don't agree shows how anxious we are internally!
Verily 200 people got laid off, how does the slap taste
The point is that joining around this time new hires may get shuffled around (working on something that's not promised initially) and even fired shortly. If this is something one can handle. Join then
You still there? Lol
most Googlers are looking for backup plan.
Not really..
So far Google hasnβt fired anyone like meta or amazon. Till they actually lay-off, many folks will still be interested in G.
The point is I have given you warning in advance.
Well it's about time lazy ass Googlers start working for what they are paid for. Amazonifying Google is good for innovation.
Good for productivity, but not for innovation.
Try go/resign if anxiety continues π
The post and subsequent comments by op don't even pass the smell test. Should have spent more time in coming up with better troll content.
Btw it is getting started
Wrong. It never stopped.
the only ones that have truly had no layoffs have been the ones that come out and say no layoffs like apple. equivocal answers mean maybe
Commenting just to prop the post. OP you somewhat predicted the wide layoff
