Google is laying off employess with, wait for it, “Good Performance”!!!

According to a LinkedIn post by a Google India employee, recent layoffs in the company, including those in India, were not based on how well an employee performed, as people with the highest ratings and recent promotions were also fired. The employee went on to say that those who were able to keep their jobs were not necessarily better than those who were let go by Google.

The employee, in his post, wrote, “Gentle reminder that the Google layoffs, including 450+ in India, were not performance-based. The people who managed to stay (including me) are not necessarily better than those laid off. People I personally know, with the highest ratings and recent promotions, are among the ones laid off. And yes, they will add value to your team.”

A former Google employee recently described the company’s financial incentives as “Golden Handcuffs” that made it difficult for her to leave

The woman had been with Google for over 15 years when she awoke one morning to learn she was no longer a part of the tech giant. Jennifer Vaden Barth, another of the company’s 12,000 layoffs, shared her story on LinkedIn about a month ago. Recently, Jennifer spoke to Business Insider and said that the layoffs were like ‘breaking out of golden handcuffs’.

Jennifer told that, while layoffs were difficult to deal with, she was ‘partially to blame’ because she had been with the company for over 15 years, which is a very long time. She also claimed that Google was restraining her and offered ‘golden handcuffs’ to make quitting her job more difficult.
