A Google product manager, Manas Minglani, who was impacted by the layoffs wrote that he couldn’t say his goodbyes. When employees lost access to their company communication channels, it was harder for them to bid farewell to colleagues. I’m sad, angry,” said Bolick, who had been at the company for over four years. “I can’t feel gratitude in this moment for a company that I gave so much of myself to, but felt it appropriate to part ways by locking me (and 12,000 of my colleagues) out of my corporate account at 4am,” she wrote in a LinkedIn post. Another employee, Blair Bolick, a recruiter for the business intern program at Google, wrote about the impersonal manner in which the news of layoffs was communicated. He wrote in a post that being among those who had lost their jobs showed that companies viewed employees as “100% disposable.” He also said he had not received any further information beyond the email stating his role as an engineering manager was impacted by the layoff. Justin Moore had worked at Google for more than 16 years, according to his LinkedIn profile, before he was laid off last Friday.

Then suddenly that morning Google’s parent, Alphabet, announced that it was cutting 12,000 jobs.
Some workers had gotten their jobs at the tech giant after years of dreaming about it, and others had been there for over a decade. 20 before their lives were turned upside-down. Many Google employees were having a normal day on Jan.
