More Lay-offs coming to GoggleWoggleLand?

Sorry Goggle, looks like your “staddia” gaming thingy got the 🔌 pulled from upstairs. Cool name, btw. Never heard of this before tho. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/google-stadia-is-shutting-down-in-2023-all-purchases-to-be-refunded/ Heard they just had lay-offs at their little incubator ideas generator thingy. Will this bring more lay-offs too for the engineers that used to work on this thing? TC 340k

Never heard of Stadia, have you been living in the earth’s core or something?

Apple GogWogHead OP Oct 2, 2022

does it actually have any decent games on it? are they cheap? why is Steam or a PS4 or Nintendo not good enough?

Okta haacked Oct 2, 2022

That's like asking why was the cloud needed when you had websites deliver servers to your data centers.

You’re such a stupid thingy

Apple GogWogHead OP Oct 2, 2022

says Adobe 🙄 sorry you failed or whatever. you’ll get it next time, bud.

LogMeIn HonestWays Oct 3, 2022

Stupid thingy OP missed the sarcasm ... lol. Adobe is picking on your thingy-ness.

Do you live under a rock?

They'll just get reorged to a different org, or people will get placed to new teams. No layoffs.

Google G00000GLE Oct 3, 2022

Layoffs coming.

Everyone in Stadia are getting internal transfers without re-interviewing AFAIK. Not that I’m defending the company for doing this

Apple GogWogHead OP Oct 3, 2022

is it the whole “60 days to find a new role, or we’ll show you the door” or, is it just re-orged into something else + a shit load of handholding into specifically handpicked spots in other teams w/ maybe some service charter re-distributions?

Google bShrp Oct 3, 2022

No, 60 days is the deal I got :( I should have taken the severance pay. Biggest mistake of my life. But anyway! Stadia devs got transfers without this time limit I think. And SWEs usually get 90 days. Area120 people got 90 days too when they were laid off recently.

Apple has siri. This is most shitty ai ml project i have ever seen :(

Apple GogWogHead OP Oct 3, 2022

what’s your point? they haven’t chopped siri yet. I’d be curious about lay-offs here as well if they did.

Google leran Oct 3, 2022

apple ai ml is just Siri

I had heard of Stadia and knew it was gaming related but never even knew it was Google or what was supposed to be different about it. That's how little traction it got. People buy devices their friends have so that they can play with friends. Nobody I know has a stadia, so ..

Okta haacked Oct 3, 2022

Man I so wish this conversation was in public forum.. Would really identify these "smart" people who work at the likes of Amazon, Apple etc. This is no different than non English speakers wearing a t-shirt that says "I am a moron" and walking around proudly.

Google Ati-Sundar Oct 3, 2022

Closing stadia doesn’t mean layoffs are coming. No one is immune…heard Iphone14 isn’t doing too well…you should look into that though and worry if some layoffs are coming to Apple 🍎

Apple GogWogHead OP Oct 3, 2022

“heard Iphone14 isn’t doing too well” got a link? I know y’all at goggle love making shit up, but that doesn’t really fly at most other places

This Apple dude has prestige in his head. Idiotic person just realize, you work for Apple, you did not create the company and it is not your company. Don't make a post if your only intention is to defame others. Have a basic humanity.

Apple GogWogHead OP Oct 3, 2022

google is shutting down staddia. product shutdowns usually happen in tandem with lay-offs. Where’s the confusion here?

Intel patmycat Oct 3, 2022

Lol, you need education on how to interact with people and how not to feel superior by merely working at a reputable company or by graduating from a top university. Sorry if it hurts you, if it did, I have proved my point that you have mental sickness of working at a prestigious company, this might also be affecting your real life friends. Do an analysis of your inner self. Your replies to other comments are pathetic and demeaning.

Wow Apple employee with so much concern about Google. While apple just changing the camera position and releases new versions. iPhone is just living off on Job's legacy. Anyways it seems you are too proud to be in Apple. Just remember that you are just a peasant like all of us here at blind 🤣. Not the CEO/Owner. Seems you are drinking too much of Kool-aid at Apple.

Microsoft remot Oct 3, 2022

Another peasant on blind who thinks peasants represent or own the company 🤣
