@ihtf no, your prior comment is inscrutable. If it was an attempt to make a logical point, consider this feedback that it fails to do so.

@hkyh you are reflecting about your thoughts. @hura has a point and your logic is flawed.

Do you realize difference between we will spend effort to do it vs it is prepared already and we will upload automatically after it is published outside?

You realize there is a difference between "we are fine with people doing this" versus "we will spend the effort to do this for people," right?

If company is ok with 2 , then why not 1? We share freely internally. you seem to have lots of time and motivation in going to the past threads.

are you kidding? Why should anyone edit? The company knows it all. Why can not it update automatically?

What do you want, then? The three possibilities are:

  1. Our equivalent of HR keeps updating the doc (or presents the information in some other way),
  2. Rank-and-file Googlers keep updating the doc as they learn of things, to share with the rest of the company,
  3. Give up and no one shares information with anyone

1 is clearly not going to happen. Would you be happy if 2 didn't happen either? Really?

Do not get me started on the silent layoffs in the name of performance.

Feel free to rant about that over in @OP+1tugivWq

And the doc that literally every single person in the company that’s been here since January 2023 knows about, well let’s just say that there’s a lot of missing information. Consider that many get all access minus Gmail and an off boarding site cut at the same time that they get notified and you’ll understand why.

On the contrary, I found it to be very complete.

You do realize that when someone gets laid off, people who work closely with that person are directly informed, right? You must know that if you work at Google

And it is straightforward to contribute to the aforementioned doc. You can do so anonymously through a form and a volunteer can add it. You must know that if you have seen the doc.

On the off chance you know of a layoff not in the doc, go ahead and add it.

But you won't. Because you can't because you aren't a Googler. So you resort to constructing increasingly elaborate hypotheticals to fish for information. So goodbye.

I do not see anything on MOMA.

The doc wasn't removed. It is very much readily accessible internally.

Literally, the fact that said doc exists internally and is easily searchable is well known among Googlers. If you haven't seen it yet, and you mysteriously claim you couldn't find it in MOMA, then I am afraid we can only reach one conclusion. That conclusion is you aren't a Googler, but you are a troll.

Not sorry. You dug yourself this hole, you'd have better luck proving the sky isn't blue than proving you are a Googler now.

I am going to give @5vhc the benefit of the doubt and assume he or she is the one Googler who somehow missed the oft discussed document.

Search MOMA for "layoffs updates" or construct the obvious Go link.

Can you explain which document you are talking about? I have not received emails about this

It is missing crucial information

Such as?

Or, more to the point: What information do you hope to get from this site that isn't in that doc?

Go look at the internal document at what is going on. It is reasonably accurate.
