In tonight’s edition of “Not Tweets,” I think out loud about how I wish interviews were better at assessing future potential and why I think showing past work is a poor way to evaluate candidates.

In tonight’s edition of “Not Tweets,” I think out loud about how much I needed a few reminders while dealing with job search rejections and maybe you do, too.

「 “Dear Sundar, the Bard launch and the layoffs were rushed, botched, and myopic,” read one meme that included a serious picture of Pichai. “Please return to taking a long-term outlook.” The post received many upvotes from employees 」

「 Your employer sees you as disposable.

This is the state of big tech. Thousands of people are facing automated emails and sudden account deactivations.

You may give many years of your life to a company. Build a great team, interesting products, even bring tons of value to the organization.

But they’ll cut you loose without a second thought 」

Alphabet misses on earnings and revenue as YouTube falls short cnb.cx/3Y4KeFV
Alphabet is variously troubled about its revenue.

「 "We won't know the full impact for a little bit – everyone is still listed as an employee and is still in the org chart.

I don't think the managers know anything beyond their immediate direct reports.

It's been a mess with little to no communication." 」

「 For example, Chris DiBona, who founded Google's OSPO 18 years ago, was let go. As was Jeremy Allison, co-creator of Samba and Google engineer; Cat Allman, former Program Manager for Developer EcoSystems; and Dave Lester, a new hire who was taking ownership of Google's open source security initiatives 」

The open source ecosystem won't begin to understand the impact of the for a little while yet, but we really need to pay attention. They wrote a lot of checks, and did a lot of work behind the scenes, and some of the people instrumental in that work are now gone.

Google's membership and foundations renewals next year will be revealing.
