#Google may have lost its soul (if a corporation could ever be said to have one), but there's still a lot of good #Googlers around, and many of them have a great sense of fun.

From the Pittsburgh, PA, office. Taken back in 2023 so I have no idea if it's actually still there.

❤️ to any #Googlers affected in today's layoffs.

I didn't think we'd be going through this again so soon, yet here we are.

Five #Googlers are now sitting-in at Thomas Kurian (Google Cloud CEO)'s office. Watch their livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/notech4apartheid

They have been placed on administrative leave (an illegal retaliatory action) and have been told that they are subject to arrest at 1730 PT (about 45 minutes from now). This is how #Google treats peaceful protest against their unconscionable support of the #GazaGenocide

A surprisingly frank & an actually useful “fireside chat” with Laszlo Bock, the former head of People Operations at #Google:

Lots of advice on dealing with #layoffs, #networking, #ageism, #career, etc.

Second call for any #Googlers on the #Pixel team who might be able to help me respond with accurate information to the many queries I'm getting (why so many so suddenly is unclear; I must have been mentioned somewhere) about the Pixel Fold. Thanks!

Any #Googlers out there on the Pixel team?

#Google launched a pilot program where select employees will be restricted to internet-free desktop PCs. There will be exceptions like internal web-based tools and Google-owned websites like Google Drive and Gmail.

The reason why they're looking to restrict Internet access is to reduce #cyberattack risks that #Googlers face.

Googlers indignati: il CEO guadagna 226 milioni di dollari, mentre l'azienda licenzia e taglia bonus ai dipendenti

In un contesto poco roseo per il settore tecnologico in generale Sundar Pichai ha ottenuto un pacchetto retributivo di 226 milioni di dollari. E i dipendenti di Google si sono riversati nei forum interni pubblicando meme dal sapore tragicomico
