Yeah? What are those dinners for? H20 is now export controlled.

Did they have rounds of layoffs first before closing down? Because this may just be the beginning. The fed rates generally take 9-12 months to hit the real economy. We're going to be feeling this for a while.

10% of the company is not underperformers. 10% of the company probably hasn't even worked there for a year.

They like everyone else hired too fast and the free covid money boom is over.

Generally yes, in this mass layoff access was just removed. I don't think Google's 'culture' will ever be the same. Intel folks have known they were getting laid off for months now. Which is helpful whether they're choosing to stay or leave.

From a LinkedIn post that I assume this author sourced for their opinion:

Things Intel did this time around, that weren't done last time, nor by Google/MSFT: * Advance notice it was coming to all employees. * The goal was budget reduce, so large business units had some ability to reduce (not eliminate) layoffs with extreme cost-cutting measures. Point is, there was a clear stated goal besides elimination of jobs. * Per public sources, the CEO is taking a 25% pay cut, leadership team 15%, etc, with the goal of reducing that number of people laid off. * Some Intel business groups gave people a chance to 'sign up' for voluntary separation. * Personally told by my manager I was impacted. * 1-2 weeks to wrap up my work. * Then 9 weeks(!!!) paid employee of Intel for the sole purpose of finding a new opportunity inside or outside Intel.

This is all on top of the severance, which is the lone similarity with the other big tech layoffs.

That's actually how bad other companies have bungled this. Intel did a better job than most everyone. They gave everyone several months notice of layoffs, prioritized internal candidates for new roles, gave a decent severance package and leaders are actually taking a pay hit.

It's not perfect, but it doesn't make Google look all that great. Google dumped tons of engineers and has plenty of engineering roles currently open, they didn't even bother trying to move folks around.

So yeah, kudos Intel

Yeah it references FreedomFi directly there...

That sounds more like Helium/FreedomFi, which is probably utilizing Magma.

Magma itself came out of Facebook Connectivity and has nothing to do with crytpo AFAIK

This. I'm the only one on my team that hasn't been at NVIDIA at least 10 years.

Pretty sure they laid off at least recruiting and ops staff today

Censys and Blumira are mostly ex Duo folks. Arbor Networks, Clinc, there are a ton of smaller companies that have exited too

What voice? Not everyone holds the same ideology as you.

That's fairly amusing given in the thread above this someone is absolutely certain that he didn't write it and that it was written by PR, Comms and lawyers.

Yeah I mean because that's rational, reasonable and totally normal behavior.

Plainly put: suggesting people kill themselves is a shitty thing to do, in any context. Please don't.

Insisting that people that work at a company you don't like should kill themselves seems a bit much, no?

I'm working on connectivity stuff at Facebook. Facebook is doing quite a bit more than just 4g/5g like deployments but the focus is primarily outside the US. We do have some public tools that I think are especially relevant to your effort: https://www.facebook.com/isptoolbox it's actively being worked on and there are many unreleased features in development but would be happy for any feedback too. Hope it's helpful.

Had it been an independent or much less related third party I'd tend to agree. However, with Mitchell's relation to and defense of Gebru, I'm not terribly sure I'd call this ethical, unless one is completely able to suspend their own biases. Getting caught doing this is bad judgement either way.

Because it wasn't wrong at the time of the acquisition, IG as a company had 13 employees and 10m DAU, everyone was clowning on FB for wasting their money. The company would have went nowhere without FBs network effect, after all it's entire feed was based on pictures posted on FB. FB is just a political scapegoat just like Goog, if we were interested in antitrust we'd be knocking on AT&T's door and not giving them more grant funding every year.

That's right, they approved Whatsapp, everyone laughed at the instagram acquisition because they paid 1b and the company had 13 employees and 10m DAU. The company would be nowhere without FB.

What decline of the brand? HN isn't really FBs general audience, who clearly do not care. DAU continues to go up. The fact that you think the planned 'legal and legislative corrections' by the same entity that approved their acquisitions only a few years ago, is genuinely hilarious. They're a political scapegoat and not much more, same reason Google will see the same antitrust case from the same AGs this week.

Important caveat: TO YOU

If only the same entity that is now suing them for antitrust didn't approve these acquisitions, and fairly recently as well.
