I think it’s the dishonesty that irks me. And the poor human capital management of not planning and allocating. I remember when GE and Microsoft did their ranking and culling the herd processes of perpetual annual layoffs. They got a lot of flak for that (and I think stopped) and I saw presentations from Google HR about how bad that was and they wouldn’t do that because they are so much smarter. They are full of shit and would do it if they had better PR. And that’s what they are doing now. Hiring and firing is expensive. Layoffs are short term corrections and long term inefficiencies. Google is for profit. And they are managed poorly to have such a layoff. If they were smarter they wouldn’t have to do this. If they were smarter they would retrain and reassign to new projects. I don’t work at Google. I applied years ago and didn’t even get an interview. I wouldn’t work there now. I suspect that they only need about 10% of their workforce to make 95% of their earnings. So everyone left is probably wondering if their imposter syndrome is real or not.
