Better tone down that demanding anything from leadership. Or keep it up and have your name land on the ki-l list for the next round. Companies never publish the ki-l list. Survivors find out who is gone when the email bounced or the chat icon is greyed out. Lounge in the chaos while the dust settles. What is the upset employee gonna do threaten to leave to go where. Go back to your beanbag chair and suck you thumb and cry a bit. Cuts are always about cost performance means nothing. The only way to survive is work cheap or have your head up a decision maker behind. Been that way since before google was a twinkle in Larry or Sergei eyes

Companies don't consult employees when they fire them they have no obligation. There is no job security anywhere and no lifetime employment until you retire, those days never really existed.

This is what happens when you create a work culture that's a replacement for your family and home. People are in for a rude awakening when push comes to shove. They don't understand what we all know: Google is a business first.

Their "town hall" meetings make no sense to me. Imagine complaining even though you are getting paid so well and still getting every necessity taken care of. I suppose the complaints were about people not cleaning up after their dogs or not having gender inclusive bathrooms.

talk about a toxic culture
ge-z

Sounds like it all about the $$$$$
Google is a giant sustaining org now.
