Statistically a large proportion of those people have spent a decade or more avoiding any work at all while making the most of the free salad.
Unlike the Xoogler waves of people who wanted a new challenge and spread Google techniques and philosophies all across the industry, many of the people laid off are going to be the ones who don't produce anything at all.
It might be hard for them to find work; or maybe it will be easy because of a halo effect but those who hire them will go on to regret it.
- Theodores 4y agoThis is my sister's estimation - a lot of Google (and FAANG) isn't actually tech. She works in science and has an uncanny ability to reel of stats about where the scientific papers are coming from and what companies are doing research of value. The upshot of this is a belief that 'we have tech' when we don't. It is a dangerous illusion.
