That’s fine. I don’t want to work for Google anymore.
More of this soft layoff bullshit. Tech workers need to unionize.
Google is run by a bunch of insecure managers who are incapable of accepting the fact that remote/hybrid works and works well without their overly hands-on approach, and possibly showcases that maybe they’re not that important (atleast compensation wise relative to the actual team they’re incharge of).
From my experience in another tech company it’s not even the direct managers that want people back, it’s all c-suite and up that are trying to force it. Makes it easy to poach talent for any companies offering full remote though
The C suite who are looking at the expensive leases they’re paying for buildings that aren’t being used, or their friends who own those buildings.
This is probably an attempt to have people resign out of “their own will”, so Google won’t have to offer severance packages.
Nah, this is major investors and exec whipping each other up over employees gaining some amount of power over their lives. They’ve become paranoid that we’re working multiple jobs, or that we’re doing laundry, or watching porn, or doing housework, or whatever else when they “own” our time.
Investors like layoffs; they look like trimming the fat. They don’t like resignations; they look like people fleeing a sinking ship.
