LAYOFF ENGINEERING 101

Every independent entity can perform layoffs in small rolling amounts at multiple locations. It will not trigger warn. Alphabet would need to file warn if it laid off employees from multiple moonshots.

I heard similar numbers too, 10% to 15% . Justified. Too many managers, overlapping orgs, empire building old timers, slow managers. I hope I am laid off too. Wish google gave volunteer layoff packes to select few so there could be balanced layoffs.

Where is the WARN entry for such layoff event? Please stop spreading false rumours!

I hear from a reliable that sales people will take a major hit. Actually I know someone from sales already laid off!

Google has figured out a way to have negative headcount for the sole purpose of ensuring the trump administration has record high unemployment

Unless you are a farmer, expect Google to lay you off.

Girl, you're sad and clueless. WARN is issued 60 days ahead to redundancy. Where's warn for the first week of January event?
