LOL new Layoffs confirmed in the meeting!!!
Those who still believe there was no layoff upcoming in the New Year are delusional! And these Top Execs are still brazen enough to brag about it with Halloween costumes!!! Looks like they are in a good mood! Bigger bonuses for them!

I am hearing again about layoffs
What do you guys think ?
Back to the office like AWS?
Anyone concerned about returning to the office 5 days/week like Amazon. I think it will happen.
Are you ready for the AI bubble ?
With billions of investments and mediocre revenue because Google still has not learned how to focus on its customers? Wait for more people being laid-off but now on "investment areas" ahahahah

Investors still shoveling money into AI but 'path to monetization' still far

Google is the most trashy company I worked for
After all toxicity and politics I have a message for those being laidoff.. you deserve better and you will get better jobs.
Gradually moving to Firefox now...
Really can't stand Chrome now. Watching Youtube shows me a blank dialog log after i adjusted the play speed. And it's a memory hog! Since Google is supporting Mozilla, I will keep using Google Search.

PIPs Are Worse Now
At one point, Google actually was different about handling PIPs. Back in the 2010s, I'd say that of the people who got PIPed, about 50% made it. I'm sure such a statement will rankle feathers on this board, as it goes against the usual dogma that a... — read more
