A Google employee who worked at the company for 15 years and suffered mass layoffs said the layoff opened up new opportunities for him and removed the “golden shackles” that kept him in the status of an IT giant. It has been reported business insider.
Jennifer Wayden Barth, 54, who joined the Google team in 2008, was among the 12,000 employees the company laid off to optimize costs. The layoffs have hit women over 40 “especially hard”.
“This is an age where we are at the peak of opportunity, and the lack of professional women in various departments and fields, including management, is a huge mistake. [компании]Bart said in a LinkedIn post.
According to the former employee, he experienced a wide range of emotions from the decline, but eventually realized that working at Google was outpacing him and not allowing him to thrive.
“You feel comfortable along the way and try to stay up to speed instead of trying to do something new,” Bart said. He added that Google offers its employees a “golden handcuff,” that is, various payments and bonuses that are not easy to refuse in return for their personal interests and wishes.
