For what is worth, I am employed at the company and I think this is a good thing, the amount of “fat” around here is just astonishing and, quite honestly, demoralizing.
I truly believe that the company could function well, and continue its mission, even with a 30% reduction or more. The number of people who do completely nothing all day, in SWE roles, is just unbelievable.
And this without even counting the incredible severance benefits. 16 weeks of salary + GSU? Wild. I’d sign in a heartbeat if I were offered that.
- kderbyma 4y agoSounds like poor poor management, probably many layers thick. Too many people is not a problem a company like Google if run well....
- ineedasername 4y agoIt depends a lot on which jobs they cut though. Do they know which departments & work groups are the least necessary? Or are most of them needed, but with fewer people so they cut X% of each team? Cutting the fat at any company is worthless or even catastrophic if the strategy for implementing those cuts is crap.
