    1. So you’re letting people go “because of AI”, but oh God, don’t all of you quit because we can’t replace you with AI!

      “Schindler clarified that large customer sales teams in the US and other customer-facing roles will not be included in the voluntary exit program. The reason, he said, is to limit disruption for customers.”

    2. “Google accelerates AI pace by shedding human employees not comfortable with AI pace”. FTFY.

    3. I mean… its similar how Zappos did it, after a couple of months they’d offer 3 or 6 months severance for them to just leave. They only wanted people who believe in the direction.

      If you’re not willing to get good at AI coding, you would just end up being fired for not keeping up with the expected workload. If this is where their direction is going, then this is where it is going. If someone wants an out, they might be able to get 6 mo severance.

      This AI is just SO EFFICIENT that we need you to work much harder.

      Just once I’d like to see one of these measures backfire on a company and have the entire business unit leave.

      Eh, it’s more like embrace new work methodologies and expectations or get out.

    7. AI Faster pace: having to deal with the shit ai slops on my plate instead of actually doing good code.

      500k-1m total compensation with top benefits and great work life balance seemed too good to be true.

      What the hell is faster AI pace? We are humans and not machines. I feel so angry and helpless.

      Did they think Google was going to write off hundreds of billions because someone feels opposed to it? They are going to the bitter end with this and we are not even half way there.

      LLMs were supposed to reduce workload and here we are with managers demanding more work.

      This is a soft layoff so that they can afford their insane AI capex. You know things are dire when the most profitable companies on the planet are issuing 100 year bonds and cutting staff pre emptively to make their books look better.

      So they are developing dangerous society controlling weapons and people who voice their concerns are asked to leave oh joy I love this world 🫩✌️

      It’s because of AI but not what they’re saying. They need people to leave so they have more money to sink into datacenters.

      Trump is going to take their unemployment benefits with his massive extortion and embezzlement lawsuits, better act quick.

    16. Just precursor to layoffs. If not enough people volunteer, Google will decide for them

    17. Ov3r3mploy3dbot on

      100 year bond sale for capex means heads roll son they can blow money on the A.I. train that left the station half a decade ago

    18. I mean, it’s a corporate job… If this is what they want then give them. Being paid to mass produce slop doesn’t sound half bad

    19. Extension-Pick-2167 on

      „faster AI pace“…working more for the same money wtf, fuck this shitty excuse to work people to death

    20. gentlegreengiant on

      These packages are usually good enough that they will have enough takers. That way they wont have to do cuts and risk termination lawsuits. This ends up being the cheaper alternative in the long run.

      Aka if ur not willing to never see your family find another slave job you are training to replace yourself with

    22. Aranthos-Faroth on

      Work your fucking ass off… so we can replace you with what you’ve built

      „Wall Street’s complaining about how much and how often we do layoffs, so we’re pretending we’re not doing a layoff by calling it voluntary. Don’t worry, in six months, it won’t be voluntary anymore.“

      And we continue to blame AI.

    24. What sort of crappy website is this. No article and AI summary only? Cookies choice is diabolical as well
