Engineer laid off after over 16 years at Google said tech giants see staff as '100% disposable'

A Google engineer laid off after over 16 and a half years at the firm said the tech giant views staff as "100% disposable," in a LinkedIn post.

Justin Moore, an engineering manager at Google, was one of the 12,000 people affected by Google's layoff last week. Moore wrote that he found out he had been laid off via an automated account deactivation at 3:00 a.m.

He said he hadn't received any other "information" or "communication" about being let go. Even if he did receive communication, he is unable to access it because of the deactivation.

"This also just drives home that work is not your life, and employers — especially big, faceless ones like Google — see you as 100% disposable," Moore wrote in the post.

What really pisses the corporate minions off now is the mercenary attitude many workers now have due to the corporate shitty treatment.

If u dish it it out, better be able to take it.
