re: Laid Off Google Employees Learn the Hard Way that Woke Corporations Don't Actually Care

Would have preferred an email vs the humiliation of having a rent-a-cop escort me out of the building personally. Way better than having to hear the disingenuous kunt from HR tell me how sorry she is while she sleeps fine tonight knowing where her next paycheck comes from.

The police escorts are funny because it seems way over the top.

How much you wanna bet that pretty close to all of these people were getting paychecks for doing almost nothing of value - a la Twitter.

Today, my 15+ year adventure at Google came to an unexpected end when bleary eyed and still half asleep I checked my phone and saw a notification that my corporate access expired alongside a NYT notification announcing the layoffs,” wrote senior marketing manager Elizabeth Hart on Linkedin.

That sucks, but escorting 12k people out of the building would have been a weeks long shite show and a massive distraction

Google is “woke” because it feels like that’s what gets it the most money, but it isn’t a “woke” company at its core, it’s just the dress it’s wearing to this party. It’s also not your friendly neighborhood internet company

This is what I find amusing. Imagine thinking “woke” companies can’t have mass lay-offs. As if these companies exist for the sole purpose of employment- and serving those entitled to it.

Every time I hear liberals talk about jobs and wages, it sounds like they don't understand that there's no REQUIRMENT that said jobs exist.

They just seem to think there's some default amount of jobs out there.

I give two shits

$10 says all these idiots getting paid half a million or more went full oil baw and spent well more than their income for the sake of appearances.

They're made out by many to be a beacon of progressivism while they act like any other big faceless corporation.

I don't know a single person that actually believes this lol.

Just detached baws living across the country that's impression of tech is the caricature they get from Facebook memes.

Maybe 15 years ago you could still find some wide-eyed suckers thinking "Do no evil" actually meant something. But today? They are a resume padder with cush benefits, and as willing as anyone to use economic uncertainty to cut fat and put downward pressure on wages.
