Big layoffs at Google!

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.

Research Engineer

What are generally the metrics used during layoffs ?

Is it division by division or each employee is vetted for his performance and contributions ?

Do high salaried folks generally targeted even if they have good performance and history with company ?

With the overall bleak atmosphere in startup ecosystem and lack of transparency in this process from employers wanted to know how are decisions made. Most say it is performance based in news, how true is that ?

Layoff Parameters

Google has been terminating the employment of many people, adding fuel to the growing discontent among employees.  A software engineer, who is seeing many people leaving, has vented out her frustration on LinkedIn, saying Google is randomly firing people.

Engineering Manager

Last December there were planned layoffs at Cisco which was known to everyone in advance along with the dates and the percentage of people to be laid off. This seemed fair at the time.

Now they have laid off people on a random Monday with no prior information or any talks in the company about the same, managers just told that people who are affected have been informed and not to spread rumours, etc (all managers lingo).

Most people were in a higher position in Tech and PMs(as per what I have heard), but surprisingly the managers were not involved and no one knows the criteria of layoff(upper execs did the layoffs). The performance issue was not the cause(confirmed by the manager) then what is the criteria?

Does anyone here have any idea what these people see when they do the layoffs? Assuming the project is still on, and the person did not have any performance issues? I am curious.

FYI - I wasn't affected (luckily).

How many affected by Google layoffs in India? Which teams and cities?

Product Marketing Manager

Google's hiring process is so shitty , I have already been through 8 interview rounds and spent a whole year in the process but still yet to get a confirmed outcome result. What is wrong with these people, half of the interview rounds didn't seem justified for the role also. Almost every time the recruiter says this is the last interview then the hiring committee recommends another one supposedly "to fill the gaps ". Seems like an elitist process being followed to sastify their egos.

Why is Google hiring process so shitty?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Any news on what prompted the Google layoffs now in India? Already 12000 odd layoffs were announced in Jan itself, globally.

Just an open ended question on why are layoffs happening on such a scale. I personally feel the skill to salary ratio has fucked up so much lately that the companies are having to fire people who are essentially useless to them. More of liabilities than just assets! What do you think?

Layoffs - who do you blame?

Absolutely agreed. Hiring in hordes because money was easily available earlier and founders/companies thought that they will be able to build more and hence get more value / valuation sooner was the core reason why the skill to salary ratio got f’ed up. And it’s good that it’s being reset now. 
  
 Coming to who to blame for layoffs - no one. It’s pure capitalism - there was money, hence there were jobs. For whatever time people got paid a lot more than they deserved - they should be rather thankful. If they built their life around the assumption that this much money was the new normal, it was their naïveté. Companies got to survive, and they have to do whatever has to be done… as long as it’s ethical. Firing is fine. Not paying salaries / dues is not.
