Is it sensible that Google went on a hiring spree in 2022 while all other tech companies had already started to freeze hiring? added an enormous-for-them 30,000 new employees in a quarter, then asked all employees how to fix "productivity", and finally decided to cut down on research teams (~100-200 people?) that represent less than 1% of the new employees they added in the previous months.
