Top brass at Google have laid off thousands of employees over the past year. As a result, according to multiple recent reports, staff morale is suffering badly, and workers are increasingly public about the slump.
The Verge reported that CEO Sundar Pichai defended the layoffs and claimed that workers sometimes reach out to express gratitude for the cuts. “And I just want to clarify that, through these changes, people feel it on the ground and sometimes people write back and say, ‘Thank you for simplifying.’ Sometimes we have a complicated, duplicative structure,” he said, per the Verge.
CEOs are literally psychopaths. Even if this was true (and it’s a big company, so it might be), to claim this is a justification is pure unbridled dishonesty and the desire to say anything at all that removes the blame from your own shoulders.
It might be partly true, its hard to do good work when you have 3 seperate bosses or supervisors who think you need to do what they tell you and ignore the other 2. Ask me how I know…
Something something TPS report coversheets.
Sounds like you didn’t get the memo. I’ll forward it to you
“And I just want to clarify that, through these changes, people feel it on the ground and sometimes people write back and say, ‘Thank you for simplifying.’
Those people are brown nosers you ignorant fuck
on the ground
Those are coworkers, not some anonymous public. Goes to show attitude toward people who work there
You’ve never seen someone at your job blindly follow any decision the people above them make regardless of how stupid it is because they can’t stop kissing ass?
Oh I wasn’t replying to your comment at all. I was just mad at the quote
I can see how that reads though
Ah I misunderstood, I understand what you were saying now.

Google has one of the highest revenue per employee figures in the industry.
Still not enough.
Gotta put more on the dragon hoard.
You could have employed 2000 people with his yearly pay. Isn’t that fucked up?
