They have 5 (or more) babies in 9 months, which is precisely the point of empire building: being able to handle more than one priority.
- refulgentis 3y agoSure, except, it was 1 employee replaced by 5, and there isn't headcount backfill.
- Rastonbury 3y agoI don't find that story believable, you don't layoff then open backfill or let alone multiple roles on the team. The handful of Googlers I spoke to are now in smaller teams handling the same workload. If true it must've been some AI related team
- hiptobecubic 3y agoGood for you, i guess? It was absolutely as stupid as they describe. There were multiple teams that were literally interviewing people to join and then laid people off in the middle of it. My own team was trying to fill multiple positions and then they fired one of us (long tenure, good perf) and told us we could hire backfill as long as it wasn't the experienced, useful person we just let go. We explicitly asked and the answer we got was that this stupid shit was somehow protecting alphabet.
