Google CEO tells employees to expect more job cuts this year.::In an internal memo, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said recent layoffs are about “removing layers to simplify execution and drive velocity in some areas.” He warned that more are coming.
Layoffs have turned Google, Apple, and Amazon into IBM. You cannot sustainability cut jobs forever, while also expecting your bottom line and moonshot ideas to provide growth. What sustains you is “old tech”, and these companies jumped into old tech the second they decided to take management failures out on employees.
More and more corporate and less customer focused company. Greed will eventually kill youtube, search, chrome and android.
These asshole CEOs need to be put in their place. I wish tech workers would fucking unionize already. The Democrats will never help anyone with labor issues.
These CEOs forget what a punch in the nose or the solarplexus feels like. They need the wind knocked out of them.
Don’t worry though folks, Sundars income will likely increase and he’ll still get his end of year bonus. I know everyone was real worried about him.

“removing layers to simplify execution and drive velocity in some areas.”
Basically saying: “The problem is YOU! YOU are too many (even though it was us who hired you)! Surely if you go away, we can become better, faster, and more efficient!”
people have a hard time admitting that their job today might be obsolete tomorrow, I believe this is already happening and it’s going to get much, much worse. If you’re not adaptable you’ll have a very hard time in the future.
Kai-Fu Lee has a pretty interesting idea of how this will all end up - a couple of large corporations directly paying people’s unemployement to prevent riots.
I would agree if more AI products that people are being removed for were producing anything valuable or providing any kind of reasonable service.
He should have a chat bot take over his job too
Google is so broken that people are choosing to use a chatbot that often makes things up instead, and they think they have too many people fixing stuff.
Gotta bring the band-aids to work…you know, for the job cuts.
Any grunt who works for these companies gets exactly what they deserve.
