Google employee shares \u201ca day in my life getting laid off\u201d in viral TikTok TIKTOK: nicolesdailyvlogA former Google employee went viral on TikTok after documenting the day she was laid off by the tech giant. Nicole Tsai, who worked as a Partner Services Programe Manager for Google, had been posting several videos about \u201ca day in my life\u201d at the company. However, on 20 January, Google\u2019s parent company Alphabet announced it was cutting 12,000 employees. Nicole happened to be one of them. In a viral video with over 4.2 million views, the TikToker revealed that she woke up to a \u201creally ominous\u201d text message from her boss. Former Google employee finds out she was laid off Nicole claimed her boss told her to \u201ccheck her email,\u201d adding: \u201cSo I rushed downstairs to find out that I had lost access to basically everything,\u201d including her work email and calendar. The former Google employee admitted she \u201chonestly had no idea\u201d that she would be one of thousands who would lose their jobs. \u201cI called my boss back and we just sobbed over the phone because she was also finding out about my layoff for the first time today too,\u201d she said. The account has now been made private on TikTok, but the videos have been shared widely on social media. TikTok users in the comments expressed sympathy for Nicole and the 12,000 employees who lost their jobs. \u201cBlows my mind how big [tech companies] like Google will always have endless revenue and still lay-off people. Just shows how little they care about their workers,\u201d one user commented. \u201cIt\u2019s wild to me [that] companies as wealthy as Google do this. At the very least they should give a two-week notice and a generous severance package,\u201d another added. \u201cMy heart goes out to you and your co-workers,\u201d a third said. Posting on LinkedIn, Nicole said she was \u201ccompletely blindsided by this decision, but there is some comfort knowing I\u2019m not the only one.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve always dreamed of working at Google, and feel grateful to have fulfilled that dream. I\u2019ve certainly enjoyed every minute of being a Googler,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI\u2019ll be spending some time looking for new opportunities and enjoying this time off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
