I texted one of the people I knew who worked there and asked if he'd been laid off. His response was something like "fuck no, quit that shitshow last year, currently traveling the world funemployed and blowing the obscene amount of googlebux they gave me those few years"
as "workers" do
The massage therapists are going to be more hurt by this than any direct operational employee

gonna miss those cardboard flavored fries an in n' out!
I ate a chipotle once with a coworker and we agreed the meat smelled like alpo
It's amazing how fast they went from "no one wants to work here anymore, here's 20 bucks/hr" to "fuck you, too bad"
In and Out here isn't doable because it's always packed and 200 cars in the drive thru, so I haven't had it since my last trip to California. I've honestly never had Chipotle and I know I'm not missing anything.
What's crazy is we actually have a few food carts in town now. We have McDonald's, Taco Bell, Burgerville, and just added Popeyes. But there is a pod by the Safeway that has a few solid options and another pod with pizza and our favorite Kimbo. It will be interesting to see if they survive, they can't make much out here.
Folks are pisses because Taco Bell closes at like 10 now due to staffing. Folks have options so nobody is willing to work for $15. Can't say I blame them..
Every one I've ever seen is like that.
And the fuckers want to fight paying their employees when each of those stores is like printing money.

My new gig starts in office until I get shit running, then I can do it from home at least 3 days a week. You don't always have to be in-person to collaborate.

Google is asking staff to share with a 'desk partner' but they have to agree on tidiness and decorations
Staff will also be put into "neighborhoods" of 200 to 300 employees to help them transition into the new working environment.
some of the sites for other business units run by my parent company don't even have assigned seats anymore. there are lockers where people can store personal belongings, then any desk that's open is available.Google plays "hot rack"

We had "hotel cubes" that were for folks traveling or folks who WFH solely, but a personal cube is something I haven't cherished in a while. When Flatrock folded in '01 and I had to box up all my personal crap, I realized how shitty it was. Since then, I don't even bring pictures or anything to put on my desk. Snacks in a drawer and stolen office supplies are all I have now.
Post-covid, 50% of our office is now reservable "hotelling" cubes. Engineering and management are the only ones with reserved spots, owing to their frequent presence in the office. Everyone else was deemed remote and lost their assigned cube.
Either way, I'm with you. I have a water bottle, coffee mug, and some basic office supplies. No sense dressing up my cube when experience has shown I'll end up moving once every year or so.
the sites i'm talking about don't even have reservations. it's first come, first served.
our site has thus far been able to resist for the sheer amount of development samples that R&D (including my functional group) possesses at any given time.
Alright alright alright.

This is an issue with a lot of tech companies. Wall Street wants to see "growth" and for most that means hiring folks. But if you don't have a need, then what good is having all these new hires? I mean, if Meta can scrap 21k folks that easy, makes you wonder what most of those folks were actually doing.
