- Ekaros 1y agoAt this point probably. I believe there is 10% extra capacity everywhere. And that 10% would not prevent recruiting replacements.
- ben_w 1y agoDepends what they do exactly. If they're all people who invent new products that Google kills after a few months or years, nobody will care. If they're all SRE's, that may cause problems.
- os2warpman 1y ago>Can Google afford to fire them all? Google can't afford to not fire them all. Anything that hinders or even questions the moneymaking machine is evil. If Google was a single, conscious, self-aware living entity it would consider dissent among the humans who make up its cells to be a cancer. For every employee that is fired, or quits, there are ten people carving "FAANG FAANG FAANG" into their chest with a knife as some form of ritual summoning, hoping their wounds heal before the interview so they don't get blood on the white seats of the white Model S they're going to buy after getting hired.
