    The latest cuts come as the company enjoys its fastest growth rate since early 2022, alongside improving profit margins. Last week, Alphabet reported a 15% jump in first-quarter revenue from a year earlier and announced its first-ever dividend and a $70 billion buyback.

    Pieces of shit.

      It’s just looting the corpse at this point.

      Mining the goodness that used to be there happened long ago; it got so bad that they killed the patient about a decade ago, and now his decay is getting advanced enough that they know they need to start grabbing his jewelry and hunting through his wallet for any credit cards that haven’t been maxed yet, because it won’t fool anyone to keep toting him around town pretending he’s still the mayor. It was fun while it lasted though.
