Recently axed Google employees took to TikTok to share how they found out if they were one of the 12,000 people laid off and what happened afterwards.
ome ex-GooglersWe learned all of this and more not from interviews to news outlets—only a few former employees gave those—workers seemingly went to unload, find support, and assure the world that they would keep going. They were vlogging their layoffsWhile sharing that you were laid off on social media isn’t new—folks have been sharing their personal layoff stories on Facebook and Twitter for years—posting “Day in the Life”feels different.
Given how we live in an online world of fake, filtered messages, seeing everyday people talk about how they’re handling a layoff is a rare moment. In a way, the vlogs from ex-Googlers highlight how so many of us are on the same level, reminding us that anyone can get laid off, even those that worked behind Google’s mighty and multicolored doors. Anyone can have a bad time during a layoff, even if they seemed to have it all together.
“I know that in this time when backed up against a corner, this is when amazing things get built,” Rebekah Moran, a pregnant Google employee who worked at the company for 9 years,. “I have a 2-year-old son and I have a little girl that I’m going to meet soon. This is the time to really show and demonstrate what it means to flourish during uncertainty.”
