An engineer laid off after over 16 years at Google said 'faceless' tech giants see staff as '100% disposable'


Justin Moore, an engineering manager, said he found out he'd been laid off via an automated account deactivation and received no other communication.

A Google engineer laid off after over 16 ½ years at the firm said in a LinkedIn post that the tech giant viewed staff as "100% disposable." "This also just drives home that work is not your life, and employers — especially big, faceless ones like Google — see you as 100% disposable," Moore said. He started out as a senior software engineer at the company in 2006 and progressed to the position of software-engineering manager in 2019, according to his LinkedIn profile.
