Google is offering self voluntary layoffs, would you take it?
>>108179986>4 month severancelol
Why would you want to be somewhere that doesn't want you there? Are you a black woman?
>>108179986I think the right moves here would be: >Assume your job will be cut in the near future regardless of your choice >Take four-month severance package >Shoot off a few dream job applications >Spend a month doing whatever the fuck you want >Start seriously job searching (unless you landed previously mentioned dream job) >Go work at a lesser big tech™ company or a startup or something But I've never worked for big tech™ so I'm definitely not an expert.
>>108180953everyone in fagman are glowniggers or prostitutes
>>108180953They offered the same package at my aunts lawfirm job. They lay off the secretaries but give them months worth of severance and lots of resources to find another job.
>>108180917Because I don't give a shit about them, I only want my paycheck.
>>108179986If they'd pay me severance to not work my current job that isn't at Google, yes.
>source: trust me, broThey haven’t offered me shit.
>>108179986You don't have a choice. At least those people work at Google so they get paid and they have a major boost in their resume, most devs will have to become toilet cleaners and miners in a few years.
>>108179986This just means Google can't find any way to keep the line going up and to the right.Remember this...if productivity tools results in layoffs what the company is saying is that they can no longer grow or are in a downward spiral and need to reduce their operations costs (opex) to give the illusion of growth.A company that still has ways to grow will use the productivity increasing tools with their existing work force to increase output and accelerated growth.What Google is telling us is they've hit their limit.
>>108181048(((they))) need (You)
>>108181048(((they))) (still) "need" (You)Get it?
>>108181210>>108181216Lisp always results in unreadable garbage.
>>108180771laughed at this as well
>>108179986I mean, if you are already marked for deletion, might as well grab the money, hit the ground running and get on the job hunting early.Otherwise you will gona compete with hundreds of people who were layoff the same time as you, and to get that money you will waste months if not years fighting it in court.
>>108179986I would only take that offer if I had a similarly paying job already lined up, but ain't no way I'd leave a 500k/y job with no fallback.
>>108181313why?because you won't find a job within that time? Or a flat rate for 2 monthers and 6 yearers is silly?
>>108181384because severance is supposed to be at least months of pay
>>108180225Yes. The kind where they say they're going to pip you if you don't leave.
>>108181104it is interesting because they used head count as a growth metric in results info but now less headcount is still meant to be positive
>>108181376500k/y jobs that I know of have tight requirements and if your not delivering on that quarter/period your gonna get cut regardless of layoffs, and meeting requirements makes you untouchable.Unless fagman have some ic roles that get you sitting around looking pretty.
>>108181476even of youre only 1 year at a company?>>108181936Who decides the requirements? If you have a shit manager who hates you, could they make the requirements impossible so as to get rid of you?
>>108179986my place did this a few years ago and it was too popular they were forced to stop. no more voluntary layoffs after that
>>108180953>Month job gap on resumeYou're never going to be employed ever again.
>>108182727What is the assumption here? People who don't work ceaselessly from 15-70 are maximum deadbeats?
>>108182688You report to execs or are an exec so your expected to manage yourself, no adult daycare here.The requirements are something like strategic goal and you negotiate the specifics.It's your peers and other execs that can manage you out, so politics.
>>108182727You do know that everyone fakes their job history, right?
>Yes, employers generally have a significant advantage when employees voluntarily quit rather than being laid off, as it usually prevents the employee from collecting unemployment benefits and protects the company's insurance rates. Laying off employees leads to higher, experience-based unemployment tax rates for the company, whereas voluntary resignations typically avoid these costs.
>>108182727goodt. decade of neetdom and investment gambling
given the disgraceful quality of all google shitware, everyone at the company should be fired
>>108182727if you were unemployed ever, even if for a month, you would already have vibecoded the website of the company you worked for and given your phone as the phone of the CEO. Also you would have lied about work duration, hell i have lied for up +1 year on some places i have worked. i have personally really worked like 1,5 years like for real in my life but my resume is at 5 years and growing... as a NEET. i do not even look for a job as i know that it will be a nepo adventure as HRs are retarded and even if i did not lie they would not get me.
>>108179986>would you take itif you take it you can't claim unemployment, which lasts longer and nets you far better pay overall. It also doesn't look as bad for Google if you voluntary quit.
>>108179986Yeah I'll take 4 months pay to not work at Google.
>>108179986No, unemployment benefits are 5 months and 30 days. Google is scamming you.
>>108179986>Google is offering self voluntary layoffs, would you take it?I took redundacy money in my last job stuck it in a 401k and doubled it. Now I neet.

>>108180917>b-but they don't want you there!Not my problem. I would be happy to continue to take their money and be a waste of space.
>>108186268>so you want to play hardball?
>>108179986How do Americans manage to speak with corporate cock so far down their throats?
>>108186268i did that for a job. 3 month later i was fired. still, 3 months later. once you realize how much you can play with boomers, it gets cozy.
>>108182727If you want a job (at a serious place) all you need to do is act overbearingly confident. Act like you know what the fuck you're doing. Tell them to their face that THEY are LUCKY that you're interviewing with them. Point out things they are doing wrong.When I was younger, the only experience I had was maintenance at fast food restaurants. I got tired of never getting hired. so one time when I was applying for a new maintenance job, I just looked around and told them "you know you need a better maintenance guy. that window is dirty as fuck. that machine has not had its oil changed in weeks. There are flies everywhere, the floor is unmopped. I will do all that for you, you obviously need the help"hired same day.
>>108187910Yeah, boomers are assholes to their kids. They will talk shit about groups of people at large. But when it comes to actually meeting new people, even younger ones or people from groups they don't like, they will give you endless chances. It's some kind of generational personality trait.
>>108179986>say yes>get fired, get paid for a few more months>say no>get fired, get no moneyIf they reached you with such proposal, it means you're next in line to the gutter anyway, so I don't see why this is such a controversial questionAlso having Google (or any FAGMAN) on your resume should make job hopping crazily easier compared to guys who only worked on smaller companies
>>108187977Did you give them a firm handshake before driving home in your daihatsu too, ancient grand-unc who thinks you still get to talk to a person during interviews?
>>108179986When you hear something about the company budget not being in a good place, for months, you start looking for another job. Not having the intuition to interpret that line of messaging means you probably had a job where you did nothing but sit in an office collecting a check, and it's babbys first job (hr/accounting depatment blindness.)
It's some lawyer-tax dodging line of reasoning, like quitting your job doesn't mean you were made involuntarily unemployed, you quit because you wanted to stop working, so you don't show up in the layoff metrics.
Every company in the world occasionally does voluntary and involuntary redundancies. How is this interesting?
>>108188185>lawyer-tax dodging
>>108179986>Leave>Get paid 4 months of severance>Stay>Get paid forever while AI does your jobAre they retarded?
