Thousands laid off in one day and no official company announcement? At least last time Sundar sent something out to the whole company? EDIT: OK looks like a few hundred employees, Verge says a thousand https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034124/google-layoffs-engineering-assistant-hardware "Google just confirmed to The Verge that it’s eliminated “a few hundred” roles in each of these divisions, meaning Google has confirmed layoffs of around a thousand employees on Wednesday alone, if we use a reasonable definition of “few.”"
Sundar is tired of pretending to care
He took on too much responsibilities already.
Y'all should buy him something to cheer him up
Not thousands... Hundreds only. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7news.com/amp/google-employee-layoff-voice-assistance-engineering-teams/14310766/ "Google earlier said it was eliminating a few hundred roles, with most of the impact on its augmented reality hardware team." I know it's catchy because it's Google, everybody's dream employer. But it's seriously getting overblown to the n-th degree. Amazon laid off even more people from twitch, there isn't such a strong reaction.
They're rolling the layoffs org by org You don't even work here and your source is also from somebody that doesn't work there Just like, not have any opinion if you don't know and don't talk about facts derived from vibes based analysis
ABC got its number from a Google representative. Also, opinion not allowed?
Sundar is planning to outsource all of Google to Bengaluru.
maybe one day literally no one will work at google and it will be a self sustaining machine of auto ignore
Google realised it’s stupid to pay $200k to new college grads in California when they can get 3 devs with 5+ YOE in India for the same 200k
They don't mention Ads layoff which has been reported on Blind
also Google maps, search teams. it's all over the place
I’m confused, shouldn’t they have had to submit a WARN notice which would give an exact number?
The WARN notice is given when the layoff is decided and people are notified. So if they notified 500 yesterday and gave them their 60/90 day notice they can issue the WARN notice then. Basically they can keep adding people to the layoff count daily.
Ok that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I'm sorry for all our colleagues at Google who are facing this level of uncertainty, especially those who were laid off. Stay strong.
Google is competing with Amazon to become worlds best employer
The number is atleast 1500.
Any ex-googlers would like a TikTok referral? Dm ya boy
I see a tiktok referral in every other post. Do you get a good referral bonus or just desperate to hire?
Referral bonuses + helping laid off people = win-win

Thanks, just went through the news reports, looks like close to a thousand https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034124/google-layoffs-engineering-assistant-hardware "Google just confirmed to The Verge that it’s eliminated “a few hundred” roles in each of these divisions, meaning Google has confirmed layoffs of around a thousand employees on Wednesday alone, if we use a reasonable definition of “few.”"
