Google layoffs
Any news on what prompted the Google layoffs now in India? Already 12000 odd layoffs were announced in Jan itself, globally.
How many affected by Google layoffs in India? Which teams and cities?
India is no longer low budget dev center after covid...it was before, my friend from Microsoft told me that their deciding criteria is value for money ratio and role criticality.
I heard places like krakow poland and budapest are definitely cheaper for MNC outposts compared to bangalore and even in western europe the ctc is a lot less than bay area/seattle rates. Blr is no more the lowest cost outpost where work can be done.
I don't think Poland is cheaper than Bangalore. I have seen people from here move to Poland to work for G there
Google India firing starts from February. People are panicking there like hell. Full suspense and anxiety. Wonder why they couldn’t announce everywhere in one go (local laws, like what?). Even in February, I am doubtful they will inform everyone same day.
Please read firing as layoff. Wrong use of word. Too bad no, edit option here :(

Now that it's been a couple of days since the layoff news, was anyone in India affected ?
I could not find any mention on the previous posts
