. Some of the affected employees have criticized the decision, with one, in particular, speaking out about his experience on LinkedIn.Before being laid off, engineering manager Justin Moore had worked for Google for more than 16 years. Moore wrote on LinkedIn that he learned about the layoff in a grossly impersonal way — through an automated account deactivation at 3:00 a.m.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai, announced the job cuts on Friday. Pichai acknowledged “full responsibility for the decisions that led us here” in an email to the staff. The layoffs “cut across Alphabet, product areas, functions, levels, and regions,” he added.
thanks for telling the sob story of these employees who had cushy, overpaid jobs at Google 😂 it’s heartbreaking, NOT!
He can just go get another job like the pipline workers
You work for an evil company. Even the CEO looks like the devil. What did you expect. The swamp eat thier own. You of all people should have known that. You will have to get a job without massages, coffee bars, and safe spaces.
What thought these non Americans got your back? Hello, you worked for them! You came after innocencent people who were absolutely write about Google corruption duh
Yup truth hurt’s don’t it
But isn’t this the land of free enterprise? Trump loves people getting fired.
Booohoooo
ANYONE working in big Tech is disposable. Why they are paid so much and have a lavish work environment when things are good. Want a 'safe' job? Government is hiring.
That’s every company.. they all do it
I worked for years for companies that grew by acquisition. When it happens there are often two people for one job. That creates competition and some lose their jobs. It’s important to remember you are working for yourself and focus on your performance. Then you are prepared.
What a baby. Who cares? It happens. You are entitled to nothing.
They always eat their own in the end.
All companies do that… there is no such thing are company loyalty or corporate family… it’s a lie,,,
GEE, PEOPLE ARE JUST FIGURING THAT OUT? Just because you are employed in private enterprise, doesn't guarantee you have a position for life, except in Govt. Most every working today works under the 'at will' or 'right to work' contingency, except Govt position. They're protected
Every company does, you die your replaced, you do something wrong your replaced , company not making profit your gone, it's the circle of life get over it
The truth hurts
YvetteHenson That’s business…..
AI has made them disposable
zcstocks The man that was generous enough to give us a boost in the business I have now “If I died tomorrow the world would go on without me”. Sure enough, he died tomorrow and the world went on without him. I carry that. No one is irreplaceable.
zcstocks FWIW that’s bs.
You always are. You are only as good as your last task.
Get used to it Teamsters have always been …
Welcome to the Thunderdome with the rest of the masses that go to work every day and are not guaranteed a job the next day
Aww, poor snowflakes. Welcome to corporate America.
Ok, maybe a couple of Kshatriya to guard the doors.
Brahmin Caste only need apply.
You live with the devil you die with the devil. Ex Google employees should be blackballed for aiding and abetting a massive propaganda campaign to destabilize the USA.
I know the feeling after working 40 years in a healthcare system and facing layoff.
News alert: we all are
Surprised you’re surprised. Google has been treating it’s customers as disposable for 15 years. Ever tried calling Google’s customer service line? They don’t have one. That’s a clue about their view of people.
He just faced what everybody else in America faces yearly. Monthly, quarterly, year reviews. If you don’t measure up ur fired. Then there is the ever present you can be layed off from work for any & all reason.
Duh
120% disposable if you don't look similar to ol' Sundar himself.
Welcome to the rest of the world...
There was a time when jobs were life-long with progress, now it seems you are a number, they don't care about your need to feed your families, purchase a home/car or anything having to do with you! It is just use you to supply their means, dump you! Regardless I do a good job!
And the tech employees of Google, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple think they are really something special. This is the REAL world, get used to it! Business is business!
Welcome to the world that many other 🇺🇸 workers live in. Quit crying, blow your nose, take your large severance package, get over it and find another job. If you believe Uncle Joe, there are plenty of them 🤨
Cisco $CSCO also has RIFs & layoffs but there is genuine concern & real empathy from management.
That's because they are. Disposable, I mean. Most of them are also close to worthless.
Learn to weld...
And?
Don't worry. Biden has told us about all the jobs he has created.
They're just modeling their company after the CCP
'100% disposable'? Well, well, well...Join the queue! ever stop to think on how DISPOSABLE, FACELESS some of us are on Internet are; or the search for once masses of info that now is hidden or outright not available even though it is legitimate information humans are denied?
This leftist zebra can't blend in with the herd anymore. The herd took his white stripes. Oy Vey!! Back to the hood with you. But they know he will still and always vote.... with the herd.

Welcome to real world where corps will drive away, lay off, or fire the compent emoyees then wail to World about how awful their employees are.
Just like politicians consider people to be although Liberal voters like to think that Liberal politicians do care about them.
Every business is a business and is obligated to look to its best interest. Employees should also always look out for their own best interest first.
That’s the way Google views most everyone.
Cry harder.
And?
In their minds, HUMANITY is disposable.
Google employee discovers Company needs & economy changes & he isn't the most important person.
Google itself is disposable. Switch to Duck Duck Go and use Rumble.
But can he dig a ditch?
You are 100% disposable. At will employers make you disposable
All of the Big Tech Nazis view people as expendable. Uber is the biggest scam on the planet. It’s Slave labor.
All Corporations see most employees in that light.
Dirty little secret time. In corporate America all employees are disposable.
Hate to say it but that's the way it works. If you're less valuable than the next guy out the door you go when cuts need to be made.
The same way they see the useful idiots who they con into and trap in their socialist web with the demonrats
That is a huge juxtaposition on life in general to the narcissistic young folks who “feel” everything is about them. It’s not. And no one cares. Get over yourselves. Signed, a GenX’er
Happy you got laid off!
Leftists whine like no other class of people on the planet.
Well to be fair that's how they see everyone.
And ?
All companies do…These massive downsizing layoffs have been occurring on an ongoing basis since the early 1980’s…Get use to it & reinvent yourself.
Those employees took away our free speech…a pox on their houses.
Most big companies treat employees as disposable
As all for-profit companies do
