Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hearing disturbing news from Google, how's everything in Google India ?

1. Google Engineer Beat His Wife to Death, Santa Clara Police Say
2. The 31-year-old software engineer jumped to his death from Google’s headquarters in Chelsea on Thursday, as per New York Post.


Any opinions of googlers or  xooglers here ?

Is something wrong with google ?

Software Developer

Googlers,

You may have seen reports of protests at some of our offices yesterday. Unfortunately, a number of employees brought the event into our buildings in New York and Sunnyvale. They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers. Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened. We placed employees involved under investigation and cut their access to our systems. Those who refused to leave were arrested by law enforcement and removed from our offices.

Following investigation, today we terminated the employment of twenty-eight employees found to be involved. We will continue to investigate and take action as needed.

Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it. It clearly violates multiple policies that all employees must adhere to — including our Code of Conduct and Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, Retaliation, Standards of Conduct, and Workplace Concerns.

We are a place of business and every Googler is expected to read our policies and apply them to how they conduct themselves and communicate in our workplace. The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior — up to and including termination.

You should expect to hear more from leaders about standards of behavior and discourse in the workplace.

Chris

Google CEO tells employees to expect more job cuts in 2024

- Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, retracted his statement blaming Google's remote work policies for its lag in AI development, expressing regret for his error.
- Schmidt's initial comments were made during a discussion at Stanford University, where he criticized Google's work-life balance approach in the context of competing with OpenAI.
- A video of Schmidt's talk, which was posted on YouTube by Stanford Online, has since been set to private at Schmidt's request.
- Google and OpenAI have similar hybrid work policies, requiring employees to be in the office three days a week since 2022.
- Schmidt's remarks align with other corporate leaders like Jamie Dimon and Elon Musk, who argue that remote work hampers company efficiency and competitiveness.

LinkedIn Layoffs India

(1) Reduce cost of human capital -> (2) Post better EBITDA numbers in earnings calls -> (3) Get big bonuses and sell your equity if its value is rising -> (4) Hire a lot of people again so that you can repeat this cycle again to profit

Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole.

Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.

Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years

Many other xooglers raised these leadership issues earlier. 
 Meanwhile, tier2/3 kids are burning midnight oil to land up in Google to start YT channel
