A Google software engineer says it was a 'slap in the face' to find out he was laid off via email after 20 years at the company

Wat hv u contributed in last 20 yrs? If written many program then no worry. If everyday waiting to go for T breaks, 自己保重。 Like some in other org, everyday klkk.

Alexandra techno park many klkk, just go to their canteen at 3pm

Did the retrenched workers supported CEO Sundar to take office? Karma.

Must thank Elon Musk who shows that terminating 40% of Twitter employees and Twitter still functions just as before. Means these retrenched are indeed disposable

EM should be pm of Singapore

CEO Sundar Pichai said the company had hired too quickly and couldn't keep all its staff on in the current "economic reality.

yet coincidentally many they retrenched were those worked for decades. celery too high?

Another laid-off engineer said that the mass terminations showed Google viewed its employees as "100% disposable

realities ...

Hasn't it been the case all along? What were they expecting?

Nobody value loyalty in this era. Better wake up

The great reset has begun in the West. AMDK IT workers will be replaced by cheaper migrant workers from 3rd world asian villages.

Hasn't it been the case all along? What were they expecting?

not if you look for companies who do not hire aggressively to work for.

because Google's edge is over. ChatGPT is like a brash xiao didi who came tumbling down the street and upset every trash can along its way.

always beware of new kids on the block.

twenty years in google does not mean anything if the company has lost its search engine domination.

I think the employee should be sacked...
after so long in the job, still dont understand an employee is not indispensible and still so naive to believe he is a talent.

Csb leh, according to edmw, only hr and marketing will kana. Swe is wen wen jiak bee hoon

 

[homer123]

If someone has worked 20 years in Google, he or she should be 赚饱饱 .. No reason to whine being layoff

 

[OngHuatHuat]

he got skillset and also employed by FAANG before.. scare no employment meh

I heard existing computer knowledge will become obsolete after a few years. So those tech firms prefer to hire younger graduates with more up to date skills.

 

[MyWill]

Send layoff emails at 5am. Loll. How many sinkies check coy email before they reach workplace at 8.30am?

 

[MrHuatster]

At google he was L6 staff software engineer in the US. His salary would be about $500k p.a. I don't think his next job can match.

Can ghost Shopee?

 

[4Dluckystrike]

Why Sundar didn't lay himself off ? Isn't he the most highly paid among staff ?

Google will respond. We'll see how it goes.
