woah, even google seems to be taking a page from the trump/musk playbook.

quote:

year ago, Google started off 2024 with some layoffs. It hasn’t taken similar steps (yet) in 2025, but employees are fearing the worst. And if the Platforms and Devices team is anything to go by, there’s ample reason for concern. Google has distributed a memo to all US employees working on Android, Pixel hardware, and other projects that offers a “voluntary exit program” guaranteeing severance for anyone willing to step away from their role at the company. The memo went out from platforms and devices SVP Rick Osterloh, according to 9to5Google.

I know Gemini isn’t the cash cow they had hoped. Big tech dumped a huge amount of cash into AI. And, now we have an open source LLM that’s competitive with their best models that can run for free locally.

Sadly, I expect a shite ton more layoffs in the tech sector this year.
