Poor timing !! Festive season, Christmas/new year and these layoffs. 
   
 It's a remainder for everyone that companies won't even think twice before laying you off. So stop making any company your dream or glorifying it.

Are there any other companies that did the same?
People whose companies laid off people due to AI. What kind of automations made it possible?
Is AI actually doing the work or is it just an excuse to lay off people?

Week back there were posts by linkedin engineers that linkedin is hiring SDEs and anyone can as referral and today they laid off 700 people.

(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

In Google Bangalore office, my team has few WITCH employees on contractual basis having salaries in range of 5-6 lakhs with work experience of 2-4 years. 

While permanent Google employees are not allowed to use o1 models on official laptop, WITCH employees have no such constraints. 

In last 3-4 days, WITCH employees are outperforming few permanent Google employees (having salaries in range of 60 lakhs to 1 crores) of my team.

This has convinced me that once Orion, Gemini 2 (embedded with Alpha zero, Alpha proof technique) etc. is released within year end, most dedicated WITCH employees (having salary of 5 lakh rs. ) can contribute in software development more than FAANG employees not using these AI tools.

I witnessed smth in Google which convinced me that WITCH companies can solve the problem of 'perennial problem of unemployable graduate'.
