Microsoft has laid off about 1000. Google has laid off about 300 (likely much more) over the last 3 months. Are these needed? Is any layoff needed when a company is over two TRILLION in market cap, like both MSFT and GOOGL are? These layoffs likely have an AI component in them, that with the changes starting to be seen with AI being used for repetitive tasks, automation of coding and quality testing mean more layoffs for programmers, QA and even UX/UI. Layoffs last year were largely interest rate driven, but not so currently. Advancements in one field rarely come without impacts to others. The big reductions being seen with formerly safe positions will continue, for sure. While it maybe high time to ask about the concentration of capital in the hands of so few, from a day-in and day-out perspective, try to find a better gig that still uses the human touch and hopefully maintains your technical prowess. The corporate and technological lurching that AI is unleashing is here. Stay aware and adapt to AI, rather than be on the sidelines. PS... this post does not have 'rewrite with AI' applied. All gramar and speling mistakes is legitimate. 👀 #layoffs #AI #capital

Google Shakes Things Up Again 🚨 Breaking news this Thursday has caught everyone's attention: Google has reportedly laid off over 100 team members responsible for the development of programming languages like Python and Dart, along with other core team members. The buzz isn’t just about the layoffs—it’s also about the rapid hiring that’s already started to fill these positions in other countries, notably India and Mexico. It seems like someone at Google decided it was time to start the year with some budget optimization. The move hints at broader strategies and perhaps, cost-saving measures, that are reshaping how Google operates globally. What's your take on this shift? #Google #TechNews #GlobalWorkforce

This is the best time and opportunity in the last decade to hire top software engineers to boost your company's growth. Slowing down tech hiring now is a major error for companies. If your company has an IT department or plans to have one and isn’t actively hiring, you might regret it in upcoming years. Think about the last time Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants experienced layoffs and hiring freezes. Failing to act now means you’ll be competing much harder for a smaller talent pool and hiring them with higher prices in 2-3 years when the market inevitably rebounds. Currently, top engineers who would usually join FAANG, Google, or any other big tech company are available, and we can attract them within a reasonable budget and quite quickly. At nCube, we can help you take advantage of this moment by connecting you with exceptional talent quickly and efficiently. Let’s discuss how we can support your needs during this unique period and help you to get to the next level.

Google is now entering what it's calling the "𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊 𝒆𝒓𝒂" More layoffs coming in 2024 ❓ According to news articles, 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐭 $𝟐.𝟏 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 as it laid off more than 12,000 employees over the course of 2023. On the flip side, Google posted $86 billion 💵 💵💵 in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023, a 13 percent increase year over year. Most of the revenue was driven by its search engine business.

But it will take an entrepreneurial mindset to look out for yourself.
