To put employees through this when meta and Google have billions in cash is disgusting.



I work at Google and am strongly in favor of this vs pretty much any alternative. I'd be in favor even if I were one of the people on a dissolved team. Hard for me to see how this is bad for employees.


But... they are paying them. What are you proposing? That they dissolve the team and just give the employees a permanent pension while not requiring them to find a new team?


I’m proposing that cuts like this are unnecessary for companies this flush with cash. It’s an excuse to cut staff with some reason to point to for doing so.
