This isn't surprising. "With our slower pace of hiring, we are planning for fewer promotions into L6 and above than when Google was growing quickly." Pretty straightforward, when you have fewer employees you need fewer leadership roles.

The people that got fired could go back to grad school to learn something new.

Very few people should go to grad school.

I know several people who were laid off at Google who have PhDs from top programs.

Unless you're the government. 1 Manager to 1 worker is very common.

It's been over a decade since I was in civil service but my immediate supervisor had a couple dozen direct reports, and that wasn't unusual.
