Substantial layoff at Google this morning, locations around the world. IT and helpdesk hit hard. To be fair, they’re hard-pressed, last quarter’s earnings a mere $26.54B, that’s a narrow 27.51% profit margin.
@timbray All the money and talent a company could ever ask for, ever, and absolutely no idea what they could be doing with it or why, beyond making one line go up. Just a total abdication of vision.
@mhoye I seen a theory that they absorb talent and pay them big salary with single goal - prevent these talents from creating anything good at competitors companies.
@koteisaev @mhoye Heard that of Microsoft already in the nineties.
@koteisaev @mhoye I'm sure all the big players do it. Just like popular singers are paid by certain politicians not to take part in any politician's campaign.
