In 2011 Google had 32,467 employees.
In 2021 Google had 156,500 employees.
It is simply not the same organization as it was when you worked there. The 2011 employees account for at most 10% of the workforce today once attrition is taken into account.
- fatih-erikli 4y agoI feel like employed by google means being unemployed if they are going to be laid off whenever the managers want. So I don't want to work in Google
- komali2 4y agoWait, how is that different from any other s Corp in a country without layoff protections?
- fatih-erikli 4y agoSo maybe their h-1b has just expired
- astrange 4y agoIt doesn't expire for 60 days because they're not "really" unemployed till then. Which is still extremely bad government policy; you don't want your best taxpayers to leave.
- fatih-erikli 4y agoSo maybe they avoid tax declaration and government no longer wants them in the country?
- astrange 4y agoWho's declaring what now? Paying taxes as an employee isn't opt-in.
- fatih-erikli 4y agoPaying tax as an employee isn't opt-in. Paying tax as an employer isn't opt-in. Why both of them? This has never made any sense to me. I don't know how it works in United States. In Europe, Companies declaring the money deducted from the salary they have paid to the tax office, the employee is correcting if it is right or wrong. If they need to pay, they pay more, if not, they receive more. Anyway my feeling is still the same, being employed by google means you're unemployed. This is a feeling. Being employed by apfel would make me feel different.
