Human Truths Ttrategist at Google - An employee unhappy about the layoff

Yes folks, if you ever had any doubt about a company with a bloated infrastructure, well, I think you should not.

"A laid-off Google employee said she felt "betrayed" and "reduced to a dollar sign" after the tech giant cut 12,000 jobs.

Katie O, a human truths strategist at Google, said in a LinkedIn post she had been laid off as part of what she called "The Golden 12k" — the 12,000 people Google announced it would lay off in a Friday memo.

"I'm shocked and hurt and still processing," she said. "I disagree with the way this was executed, and from what I know, I'm disappointed that this measure was taken before others.

"I poured most of myself into my work. It's difficult when you feel betrayed but there isn't really an individual you can direct your anger towards."

"I see plenty of these girls at work, not writting a single line of code but are working in development."

Wow! Prejudiced much? Girls? And you seem to think only those who write code matter?

Your origin is showing. Then again I supposed you'd be the first one crying about "Wah! Wah! Why do they fire us H1Bers first when it's so triggering to have to find another job in under 60 days!"

Instead of laying off engineers building stuff, why dont all companies fire people like human truth strategists?
I see plenty of these girls at work, not writting a single line of code but are working in development. They spend 90% of their time in fking meetings and calls, talking about concepts that they wont bring to life
