Last I saw someone post that his Google Interview has started. Guess, FAANG are showing their fangs. Apple laid off subcontractors and not employees from what I read.

This is not perf related and across the board. There are many people in internal blind saying that their access got revoked , abruptly logged out when working late night, etc.

2min silence for those bhaia didi selling FAANG n FaarT courses on YouTube. AIs impact will be huge. 2014, Sam was thinking it will replace manual n low iq jobs which r repeatative n monotonic but 2024, I see 30% slab coders losing to chat gpt 4.0 Imagine the situation when nvidia provides 2nm GPU coupled with cuda algo which can train gpt 8.0 in realtime

It’s a popular theory but since layoffs do happen in India as well, I don’t see it’s the core intention

Hiring and layoffs are entirely two different segments handled by a different mindset. In particular, Layoffs are never decided on who is working on critical stuff although, after 12K layoffs, VPs have a special right to veto a layoff decision of any critical resources if they like. I believe there are 6-10 factors considered before putting a team or an individual on the layoffs list. Someone wrote a big article on blind about those factors but I believe People Ops reported that post & it was taken out.

It is generally 3 months severance, 2 months notice pay, medical extended by a year, earned leave encashment, any variable that would have been paid if it is in India. If it's Eu or US, the severance is between 6 months to 1 year.

Based on my 2-3 friends observations. Anything below low SI rating, and you should expect a mail by the end of this week. They also mentioned suspecting extra security on every floor.

No way she knew about these cuts in advance. Unless she’s a VP or something, then it’s believable. Pretty sure she was just quoting figures from this: https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/google-to-let-go-of-30-000-employees-due-to-new-ai-innovation-heres-what-report-suggests/amp-11703383333475.html
