Google sent an email late tonight to US staff who were laid off a few weeks ago. They claimed there was a miscalculation on the original document that was sent when the layoff was announced. RSU promised as severance in the original letter has been slashed. Almost half. Tens of thousands of dollars difference. Yet another massive misstep by Google. Hoping this story gets picked up by the media. It’s time to fight back. They should be held to the original promise. #google
i guess google is no longer a company i dreamed of
If you are dreaming about a company.. you need to really go out and enjoy life
hey, some of us grew up dreaming of working at these companies
Can anyone confirm, attach screenshot?
Here is mine
$100k+ not bad.
Super screw up!! Person responsible need to get fired!
Good laugh. 👍 fight back. Funny.
They’re taking full responsibility for their piss poor presentation on BardAI by further abusing the people they fired for no reason except to temporarily bump the stock that swiftly crashed anyway. Leadership at its finest. 👌👌👌
What is this presentation everyone keeps talking about? I saw the tweet. Can you link to the presentation?
I haven't heard this from anyone else laid off. Screenshot?
Wouldn’t this be like a class action lawsuit? Don’t they have to adhere to contracts signed lol
Crazy how you people are so shocked and emotional about these kinds of stuff. You people have too much faith in these criminal companies.
it is a shock because it is google.. Google could get away with paying less because it is google. Now Google is turning into just another company
People really need to stop saying "it's a shock because it's Google". That's what you would have said a couple of years ago. At this point in our history, people should be saying "of course it's a disaster, it's Google."
I confirm that , got laid off and my GSU were slashed half today. What a complete shit show by google why not fire these incompetent teams who can’t calculate GSU instead of us. F king retards !!
How does that work? I thought they were giving exactly 1 quarterly vest, are they just giving half of one now?
No they messed up calculations, they calculated Jan feb March stocks also in final figure. Realized it today and sent the updated number which is drastically low
That is fucked.
Nice name
This is fake news, see comments at the bottom. They are giving the same as was announced publicly. But they messed up calculations in internal communication because of 60 days employment after notice.
