Your opinion on the timing of major layoffs. Read this on X “Google has cut hundreds of employees in its advertising sales division $GOOG” can anyone confirm? Google $GOOGL is cutting hundreds of jobs in its 30,000-person ad sales unit as part of a broader reorganization, Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler told employees in an email Tuesday morning - The Information
Happening right now, actually in sales/ GBO
Any details on specific sub teams impacted ? Numbers ?
Non yet. They will do theirs via 1:1s through the week. All I know is GBO PA
They just announced them last week, do you live under a rock or what?
Started on Wednesday, fresh batch this morning at 8AM really awesome start to this week
Feb for AWS is my guess
why settle for 60h a week when you can layoff and milk for 80 😎
AWS won't have major layoffs. With a large reorg there will be high natural attention. Expect ramped up hiring for backfill soon.
I doubt ppl will voluntarily leave in this market…
Lots of randomized people unhappy. Only happy people are those who landed scope expansions. Folks are still landing offers and leaving at a healthy clip right now, and expect that will ramp up.
Amazon has been laying people off every week. A few hundred here, a few hundred there. It's adding up to thousands of people kind of going under the radar Today there were layoffs in Buy With Prime, Alexa and HR
They will not announce, silent layoffs is the new norm
That is microsoft
Yeah that's Microsoft, not other big companies.
