It's important to understand that Google is such a large company that it shouldn't really be treated as a single company, or thought of as a single company. To understand why I say this, look at Google's revenue for 2023 (roughly $250B USD). That's comparable to the import revenues of nations like Switzerland and Thailand. So when you hear of "layoffs at Google" it would be better to ask "Layoffs at which division of Google" to get to a scale of an actual, ordinary-sized company. This scale difference is also why companies like Google and Amazon could never fail, barring a cataclysmic natural disaster that would wipe out the majority of humanity. Governments would never allow such large entities to fail.
Absolutely agree. McKinsey as well as Deloitte are some of the most overrated companies ever. They just sell snake oil without having any skin in the game.
I’m not shocked that employees think Google lost its vision, considering that their flagship products are more than 15 years old, and they haven’t innovated anything after that. Search, Gmail, Maps. That’s what people think when they think Google.
They also have Android, Docs, and Calendar, which could be summarized to Google Office (they don't call it that, but that's what it is), Search, Android, and Maps. Regardless, Google would be a better company if they focused more on their core products and stopped trying to chase every new thing under the sun. All of those core apps are lagging in features that new startups have been able to deliver. Proton Mail for one is way more secure than Gmail, the only thing holding it back is firewalling by Google and companies that think only Google, MS, Apple, and Yahoo should be allowed to send emails.
@@koma7778 Google didn’t build TH-cam. They bought it. We haven’t seen Google build a product from the ground up and made it extremely successful in the past 5-10 years.

Google is shooting itself in the foot with its own internal toxic work culture that forces good people and out and rewards the manipulators that game the system. Ultimately, nothing they make will succeed because the talent that builds good things will never exist long enough to sustain it.
Once a company becomes big enough it turns into a Corporation. Quarterly reports, stock price, shareholder pressure - these take precedence over user and employee happiness.
You really see human nature when you work for a company that has seen good times and the staff hears the word layoffs. People you thought were friends really can get nasty. I guess people living paycheck to paycheck panic. I worked at a startup after the whole division was axed I saw an engineer 2 weeks later and he must have lost 40 lbs. I have a friend at Google that just bought a 1.5 million dollar house at 6.5% interest. I did the math and he needs to bring in 18k per month (after taxes) to just live normally. 10 years ago the RSU's could net on average 4 million over 4 years (maybe 2.5 after taxes) but now it's reduced to 1.5 to 2, not good. I don't see how AI is going to get around the energy problem. Without fusion break throughs AI is a pipe dream.
I would love to work for Google and I remember hearing what it was like (this was before Sundar) and wanting to work there. I would sitll like to work there sometime when I'm actually old enough to work at a place like that, but not in a time like this.
Indian corporate culture is more of reserved, strict and hierarchal, while American is more transparent, open, and willing to take risks and innovate.

This is actually good for innovation. Great employees who are dissatisfied will leave go on to make their own projects spuring competition. But yeah, Google search today is hot garbage.
It was a tech company that turned into an advertising company. Few sane people would choose an advertising company to build and maintain the country's (and world's) information infrastructure. It's madness.
Engineers are replaceable too though. Very few are exceptional. Most are okay. Their value lies more in familiarity with a project than any innate technical brilliance. And there are a ton of awful engineers too. Like tons.
@doublesushi5990 Yes but demand is also scaling. So more is required, which actually dilutes competition as there are more posts than engineers. Or there were. And frankly, engineers are getting worse over time, not better. Too much ADHD riddled don't let kids fail education now. Everyone wants things explained in a 5 minute YT video. No one wants to get deep understanding. Which means you end up with lots of half asses engineers doing mediocre work.

I do think there was an inflection point some years before, and the 2023 layoff was a shortsighted response. However, Google does innovate quite a lot. While they messed up the launch of their LLM, they are by no means behind. At least for now, all the various LLMs are somewhat similar. OpenAI just was smart/quick enough to be first. Here are some innovations they made: TensorFlow, JAX, ML Accelerators, Kubernetes, Istio, Serverless (Cloud), Quantum Computing breakthroughs
I don't care about Google one way or the other. But self-interest and moral integrity are not mutually exclusive. So when people make accusations about these concepts I want details.

Every company goes to shit when the founders leave. The founders have a vision, and if the company is successful their vision is appreciated widely and their management works. Then they retire, and they hire someone, and say "keep making money." But the new guy is not the best for the job, so he starts trading in the reputation for continued profits even when the company is run poorly, because he doesn't know what else to do.
But is it bad? Perhaps this is precisely the opportunity to occupy those places that such a company would have seized without the right to exist for another. Although it continues to 'disrupt' and acquire startups... nevertheless. However, it seems like good news for ambitious innovators that the 'giant' with problems. 😈
You should check Sundar pichai s insider selling records: from the beginning he's been selling his shares as soon as they're vested, and the shares he still owns are all future un-vested.
As a black woman engineer they contacted me two years straight never granted me an interview… finally got one didn’t even make it pass the first round…. They dont care about diversity of thought like that

So Aaron Jack, when are you going to do a video about how Google has completely blown its flagship app Google Earth; ruined it beyond recognition, and made it completely unusable.
@@doublesushi5990 haven’t you seen the new Google Earth for yourself? It is absolutely useless. The incompetent Google software engineers screwed it all up.
Most of Google DEI hires are not even in their development processes. They had outreach positions and some front office positions filled (maybe) but even those have been reduced (see Meta doing this as well). I promise you DEI is not the reason why Google’s innovation is failing. This new “DEI is ruining companies” hype is asinine at best. The current situation has less to do with how many minorities are being hired over competent white males but that most of the innovation space that google was once in has dried up. Googles biggest revenue builder is a company they had to buy (TH-cam). They are currently walking the path of those who came before them (Cisco, IBM, etc)
@@ImLure you hit the nail on the head. These companies preach DEI but the reality is they’ll hire a white woman or gay white male as the “diversity.” If they do hire a Black male, they’ll be over qualified and likely to be laid off. If they hire a Black woman she’ll likely be in HR. People are just screaming DEI because it’s a convenient excuse, blame it on Blacks. Regarding Google, it’s clear that the old culture flamed out 10yrs ago. It was common for people to just “rest and vest” there. It was common for people to say “this is the company I will never leave.” I’ve even interviewed at other companies (Stripe) and the HM said they left Google because they wanted to actually do work. Finally, if you look at Google today, ever since OpenAI and the layoffs, they’ve released more features and products. So they’re clearly scrambling to readjust to the competitive landscape. I wonder if it’s too late.
@@UnDark1 I think it is too late. The incentives are now totally flipped, and there's no going back. This is becoming true for pretty much all of the big tech companies nowadays. The real work is getting done in the startups and small companies. The big companies know this, and the CEOs are colluding with each other to induce a major recession so they can maximize their profit and theft again with lower interest rates, while keeping salaries repressed. 2023/2024 is turning to be a massive inflection point.
@@athens31415 I was being a little optimistic about Google but I think your view is more accurate. I’ve noticed a pattern that companies are pushing massive layoffs and then opening the same positions at lower rates. I spoke to a leader at a large company last year and his feedback was that the government was going to force a recession so they were laying off preemptively, and all other major companies were doing the same; this was around the time Google/amazon/meta, etc first started layoffs. Re: startups. That’s where the real work is at in my opinion. They’re also more selective than the larger tech companies.

the overfocus on DEI in software engineering is turning it into a participation economy rather than an engineering and building/hacking one. it's no surprise it's become heavily corporatized at the same time
@@progpogs In the beginning it wasn't hard to come up with amazing tools that blew people's minds. And people were more easily wowed even just a decade ago. And it's not like they invented maps, they just made a new tool to view maps. They really didn't invent anything new just digital tools for things that have always existed. Computers are just glorified filing cabinets. Even TH-cam is just a combination of TV, mail and telegrams. Now that all the easy boxes have been checked off it's going to be a lot harder to wow people especially people nowadays who expect everything to be free and instantly amazing.
youtube was better before google. They dont actually do ANYTHING all they do is monetize everything they can. No innovation, nothing impressive, for YEARS
FWIW started to wathc your video, but all the annoying sound effects you added were just too much. Less is more...don't overproduce , it's just a video ffs....
All of your large tech companies have hiring “teams”, these teams are one end of it, because hiring is not without it’s counterpart, the firing “team”/HR or whatever the company wants to call them. With any tech company, you are either at the top of your game… always or you are gone. Sadly humans don’t increase mental or physical production as they age. All of this is why Ai will replace most tech employees and if you think that is a joke, you may want to open your eyes. Also please don’t look at “career “ as it was so many years ago, those days are far gone. If I had to side hustle to make ends meet, I’m not where I need to be and I would look at leaving the company I so called have a career with. All of these companies suck them in and spit’em out and only the top minds and physically healthy stay. It’s all a bit sickening really.
TH-cam seems broadly still popular and the idea of video only social media is obviously incredibly popular. In other words, YT would get sold off if necessary, or a rival would come along we'd all migrate too.
I'm not trying to be rude but your video looks like when school children make their first Powerpoint and discover transitions and wordart. It's a hot mess and it's affecting the viewability of your video. Less is more and will probably make video editing easier and less time consuming.
Yo, there's really no such thing as a "top engineer" at a company with over 100k employees. Nobody cares what Google does anymore. And the worship of "Google" is dumb. These kinds of videos are pure bottom feeding nonsense. Does this guy work at Google? The answer is a definitive no. Does this guy know what makes for an innovative company? Probably not.

If they hire a Black woman she’ll likely be in HR. People are just screaming DEI because it’s a convenient excuse, blame it on Blacks. Regarding Google, it’s clear that the old culture flamed out 10yrs ago. It was common for people to just “rest and vest” there. It was common for people to say “this is the company I will never leave.” I’ve even interviewed at other companies (Stripe) and the HM said they left Google because they wanted to actually do work. Finally, if you look at Google today, ever since OpenAI and the layoffs, they’ve released more features and products. So they’re clearly scrambling to readjust to the competitive landscape. I wonder if it’s too late.
@@UnDark1 I think it is too late. The incentives are now totally flipped, and there's no going back. This is becoming true for pretty much all of the big tech companies nowadays. The real work is getting done in the startups and small companies. The big companies know this, and the CEOs are colluding with each other to induce a major recession so they can maximize their profit and theft again with lower interest rates, while keeping salaries repressed. 2023/2024 is turning to be a massive inflection point.
@@athens31415 I was being a little optimistic about Google but I think your view is more accurate. I’ve noticed a pattern that companies are pushing massive layoffs and then opening the same positions at lower rates. I spoke to a leader at a large company last year and his feedback was that the government was going to force a recession so they were laying off preemptively, and all other major companies were doing the same; this was around the time Google/amazon/meta, etc first started layoffs. Re: startups. That’s where the real work is at in my opinion. They’re also more selective than the larger tech companies.
Bro im not watching cartoon network, calm down with the sound effects
It's just transition sounds
Have you run out of light bulbs?
Did you hire an Indian to edit your video??
COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THEIR MASCOT DUDE DOESNT HAVE EARS???? IVE SEEN PRETTY MUCH ALL THE VIDEOS THAT THIS CHANNEL PUTS OUT....LIKE THE ONE WHERE HE HAD THIS ENORMOUS BRAIN😂....DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT ONE???? OR THE ONE WHERE HES SMOKING A CIGGARETTE TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO CODE???? WHY DOESNT HE HAVE EARS???? THE DRAWINGS ARE REALLY COOL....VERY DISTINCTIVE DRAWINGS....
the overfocus on DEI in software engineering is turning it into a participation economy rather than an engineering and building/hacking one. it's no surprise it's become heavily corporatized at the same time
A slight touch of irony that you're posting this on a google owned site.
Further proof that they can maintain a legacy service, but struggle to make new things. They didn't even make youtube, they acquired it.
@@progpogs In the beginning it wasn't hard to come up with amazing tools that blew people's minds. And people were more easily wowed even just a decade ago. And it's not like they invented maps, they just made a new tool to view maps. They really didn't invent anything new just digital tools for things that have always existed. Computers are just glorified filing cabinets. Even TH-cam is just a combination of TV, mail and telegrams. Now that all the easy boxes have been checked off it's going to be a lot harder to wow people especially people nowadays who expect everything to be free and instantly amazing.
youtube was better before google. They dont actually do ANYTHING all they do is monetize everything they can. No innovation, nothing impressive, for YEARS
hello to you 👋👋👋👋👋🤗😊😌😀😁🤠 Aaron Jack
This guy has no idea what hes saying, the article author.
FWIW started to wathc your video, but all the annoying sound effects you added were just too much. Less is more...don't overproduce , it's just a video ffs....
it takes weeks to add all that stuff. that's why so few vids!
What else is there?
AI to replace all HR, hiring and firing, government, legal, medical, all jobs.
After that, what is there left to "innovate"?
Banyak negatifnya bro, coba cari positif dong bro. Karyawan biasa nya cuma nyari batu loncatan doang bukan untuk mengabdi 😊
Is that a wig?
All of your large tech companies have hiring “teams”, these teams are one end of it, because hiring is not without it’s counterpart, the firing “team”/HR or whatever the company wants to call them. With any tech company, you are either at the top of your game… always or you are gone. Sadly humans don’t increase mental or physical production as they age. All of this is why Ai will replace most tech employees and if you think that is a joke, you may want to open your eyes. Also please don’t look at “career “ as it was so many years ago, those days are far gone. If I had to side hustle to make ends meet, I’m not where I need to be and I would look at leaving the company I so called have a career with. All of these companies suck them in and spit’em out and only the top minds and physically healthy stay. It’s all a bit sickening really.

What will happen to TH-cam? Google owns TH-cam doesn't it?
Have u seen a worse youtube since its inception?
@@alirazi9198 There's plenty of great content on TH-cam, so it's getting better.
They are doing mass layoffs too.
TH-cam seems broadly still popular and the idea of video only social media is obviously incredibly popular.
In other words, YT would get sold off if necessary, or a rival would come along we'd all migrate too.
Hmmmm 😢 o google what are you doing ...
Hey Google, go woke become a joke.
I'm not trying to be rude but your video looks like when school children make their first Powerpoint and discover transitions and wordart. It's a hot mess and it's affecting the viewability of your video. Less is more and will probably make video editing easier and less time consuming.
Agreed, it is embarrassing
Yo, there's really no such thing as a "top engineer" at a company with over 100k employees. Nobody cares what Google does anymore. And the worship of "Google" is dumb. These kinds of videos are pure bottom feeding nonsense. Does this guy work at Google? The answer is a definitive no. Does this guy know what makes for an innovative company? Probably not. Why does this channel have 420k subscribers?
Indianized
Wokeness consuming the company
cancel culture destroyed Google.
