None of these companies actually HAVE to be laying off staff, they could operate just fine and still turn plenty of profit with current (or previous) staffing levels. They COULD freeze hiring, downsize through attrition but no. They seem all giddy and excited for the supposed "recession" coming which ironically will get triggered by idiotic knee-jerk reactions like this.

[EagleLeader]

I saw some reports that former employees are confused about the criteria for being laid off. Especially since some have tenure & some were high performers. Simple, money. Those high performers and older staff earned more than the average employee. They rather pay less for lower performers than pay more for high performers. Short sighted? Yes, but not an unusual move for a corporation looking for a short term benefit.

Struggle????! Gimme a break. This is gaslighting

Lol 12k people let’s just say they get paid $50k for the fun of it that’s about $600m google is saving and still is able to run the company with no hiccups

Biden economy hurts liberal jobs… didn’t see that coming 😅

[karunakarang]

These things directly indicates that people one day protest massively against this type of corporate firms.. Who is focusing mainly profit..

[ctwatcher]

Lay off and now hiring more 'immigrants'? I read people are going to the offices and taking pictures of all of them? Something about America First and not the entire world of haters.

[rohans]

Yes true, I have made my decision that from now onwards I am not going to apply for Google. This company literally run because of us and don't have respect for us then why to work for such organisation. Its an insult for developers like us.

They overhired on purpose and lay-off all low quality workers. Easy sorting process zero discrimination

[evilmonk]

What if all the remaining workers took leave on same day. Even for 1 day. Google destroyed. 😂

My spouse was laid off from an aerospace firm in the mid 90s after 20 yrs w co. before Christmas. Surprised Google waited. til Jan. Co.s usually layoff in Dec. Many of us can relate. You will recover, but the job loss impact your life for-years. Bootstraps!!

Kinda strange. Google is supposed to hire the best. Even their bottom is top talent. You would think they could find a role for them.

[Stopinvadingmyhardware]

They don’t provide a safe and secure product.

[desiderioyanez]

The way the stock moved maybe sunder didnt layoff enough maybe the execs and sundar should've forgone their pay to improve stock petformance just compare facebook and amazon you can hire later on thats the reality

[ComeHereGreatness]

It's ironic how Google wasn't the only one who "grew too quickly." When was the last time you've seen Google make an error? Never. There's more to it all than what we know.

[dwightstone]

What is fueling this trend at this point and time is what I would like reported?

[phillp]
