- roncesvalles 4y agoEven better if one of these "valuable things" topples Google.
- krab 4y agoThat's mostly Google's decision. :shrug: Anyway, I see a difference between hiring and laying off vs. not hiring in the first place with regard to disruption in worker's lives.
- jungledeuce 4y agoThe disruption of making several hundreds of thousands of dollars more than they would have outside of FAANG? I’ll take some of that kind of disruption, please.
