    Yeah that whole line smells like pure bullshit. I’ve never seen anyone be grateful for having their coworkers laid off.

      I can imagine it, but just a few really awful people. Google, like any company, will have some extreme right-wingers working for it. And, working for Google tends to go with big egos. I can imagine some dude looking at his stock options thinking “yes, all those useless people were holding down the value of my options, now that they’re gone I’m going to be rich”.

      We had a coworker that got fired a while back, man that was a relief for the entire department. That person was absolutely toxic to work with, or even near.

        Fired and laid off are different. The people who were laid off weren’t let go because they were a drag on their teams or their departments, but because theoretically the company didn’t have enough work for them.
