So I was also at this meeting. I agree that its a really spoiled discussion. But there is also a lot more un-published cost cutting. They have been aggressively slashing budget for servers (!) and hiring. Also I don't think the very ad-hominem attacks on employees are warranted, they're spoiled but they've been given the leeway and been told its ok and to expect that.
Freezing hiring is typically considered pretty aggressive.
> I wish Google would go through the Meta route and lay off 15%. I’ve never worked with a lazier, more spoiled group of people in my life.
I think making people just be more productive is probably better. I'm sure existing attrition is enough. I do think the fun budget cuts and that sort of thing are pretty silly to cut. If the median salary is 300k, then a few hundred per person is a drop in the bucket.
