Google staff sound off about 'corporate overlords,' impersonal layoffs, and a changing company culture, report says

Google employees have recently experienced another round of layoffs, leaving some feeling disgruntled. The job cuts, which affected staff working on Google Assistant, Fitbi, and the devices and services teams, were not addressed internally by CEO Sundar Pichai. Employees have expressed their frustrations on Google's internal meme board, criticizing management as "corporate overlords." The layoffs were described as impersonal, with one engineering director indicating that the company's culture had changed significantly since the last major round of job cuts. Google had previously cut 12,000 employees in January 2023, and the new wave of layoffs reflects a broader trend in the tech industry.
