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.

2024, I see 30% slab coders losing to chat gpt 4.0

I just heard from a friend at Google - the internal email says jobs are moving from US to India and Brazil
Thatâs interesting
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.

Does anyone know the severance being offered?
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.
My prayers with the ones affected. Youâll find a way soon đđŒ

Amazon next.. heard from one of my friends working there
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.
Heard from a friend who is in US, couple of days back that the number could be upwards of 30k. Didnât believed her then but now đ€Ż
No way she knew about these cuts in advance. Unless sheâs a VP or something, then itâs believable. Pretty sure she was just quoting figures from this:
