A whistleblower revealed that a woman who had been with Google for five years was laid off while on vacation with her family. Her team has informed her through the use of LinkedIn that she has recently been dismissed. The technician, who asked to remain anonymous, asserted that she had been unaware of the job cuts until humans began contacting her to see what her situation was. “It just never happened to me that they would be inspecting to see whether I had been laid off,” she told the publication. “No one informed me anything actually occurred; I was totally unaware.”

Within a week of obtaining some of these texts, she inspected her mailbox and realized that her supervisor had texted her on LinkedIn. Her heart dropped, she said, at that instant. She immediately realized what the statement was about.

The manager told the woman she was going to be laid off. He furthermore clarified that an e – mail was sent out at 5 a.m., but that it was shuttled to some other profile, which she asserted she infrequently controls. He issued an apology as well as a declaration that there wasn’t any other method through which he could notify her.

Although this specialist explained that she had no intention of remaining at Google for extended periods of time, the ways in which she was dismissed were challenging to comprehend. “It felt like a sudden rush of feelings, even though I was unable to communicate with everyone,” she told Insider.

“Furthermore, to see it eventuate not on your aspects and to have it be sudden with really no shutdown and also no justification was also really tough”. She has been amazed to be “rubbed off and allowed to go” so quickly, even after her good graft.

The tech giant has dismissed 12,000 workers from various departments and different levels of hierarchy. While declaring the job cuts steadily for the past month, CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the business had recruited people to complement its severe expansion over the preceding 2 years, but the scenario it confronts now seems to be distinct.

Several staff members discussed their experiences through social media. Yet another worker was dismissed immediately upon his return from an absence leave to grieve his mother’s cancer passing. Someone else had been in the middle of her pregnancy when she was dismissed.
In the middle of a job request, a Google hiring manager obtained a letter of resignation.
