Tech companies used to make a big deal about their culture, care for people etc the way they have done their recent layoffs do not live up to those standards. Have a lot of friends who are suffering because of that. How are you all feeling?

From the outside looking in, the big tech (Google and Meta) severance packages are very generous relative to other industries. I do feel for those who were affected, especially those with H1B visas, but wait until we see what a "regular" severance package is from other industries. You'll see the level of care they offer for their employees - immediate termination with 2 weeks severance and COBRA option.

Big tech layoffs won't look so bad, relatively.

That was always BS but keep the layoffs in perspective, in most cases these companies have been hiring like crazy and headcount is going back down to it was in the very recent past.

Yeah I saw a chart somewhere of all the major tech firms that had the amount hired in the last two years and overlayed decent layoffs, it was negligible in a lot of cases (still net gain of people by long shot)

I don’t get it — what about their culture and family stuff is inconsistent with recent layoffs? I don’t recall any promises not to lay people off

Hi all! Anyone have a good closed captioning service that adds captions in Spanish with a Spanish VO? We have two videos, one in English and one in Spanish, and they both need captions. I have the scripts but don’t feel comfortable and we want to make sure it is correct. Side note: We were going to use Rev but they don’t do captions in Spanish and one of their sales people just sent me a very snarky email.

Something that severely gets into my nerves :

I advise clients on tech and sometimes help them debug stuff. This client told me they tested the solutions I gave and that it didn’t work, and requested a meeting to sort it off. We schedule a meeting. I just inspected their account and they haven’t tested shit, I can see the same code mistakes, they never tried to change anything.

I’m pissed. They’re basically wasting my time and I don’t even see the point in meeting with them.

Has anyone taken part in sperm sorting at their clinics to give a better chance of choosing X or Y sperm in IVF? My clinic has a study where it can skew girl 60/40% but the working hypothesis is that the abnormal Y sperm will fall down with the heavier X sperm, so there might also be a higher chance of aneuploidy. Wanting other people’s results on this. If not, on IVF genders in general - are you getting more boy or girl normal embryos?

Anyone gone back to consulting, or is it better to go to another FAANG before boomerang? I don’t think going to industry at this point makes sense.

Concern on going to another FAANG is getting de-leveled/starting over. L5 is nebulous middle management, and it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle.
