Google workers in London stage walkout over job cuts

Instead of 'walking out', how about they get a new job? Thats the ultimate form of protest. Google employees have been told for years that they are the smartest people in the world. The puff pieces on Business Insider and major news outlets saying its harder to get a job at NASA or get accepted into MIT have really inflated these peoples egos. Lots of normal and low ego people at Google, but the place certainly radiates snobbery.

This is a ridiculous thing to say when the market will be saturated since all companies are letting people go.

They are walking out because unlike the US there is a process to this, the company is supposed to listen when it's employees make alternative suggestions to save costs.

There are 1000s of open jobs. Working at G00g isn't a human right.

The market is far from being saturated, plenty of places are hiring. Just not at crazy wages.

Companies are now correcting the overhiring spree they did in the pandemic boom.

The story behind the Google employees’ strike is not so much about whether they will lose their jobs or not, but about their anger at the management that refuses to listen to anything they have to say.
