Letter from Google CEO to Employees: 12,000 jobs to be cut

Googlers,
I have some difficult news to share. We’ve decided to reduce our workforce by approximately 12,000 roles. We’ve already sent a separate email to employees in the US who are affected. In other countries, this process will take longer due to local laws and practices.
This will mean saying goodbye to some incredibly talented people we worked hard to hire and have loved working with. I’m deeply sorry for that. The fact that these changes will impact the lives of Googlers weighs heavily on me, and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us here.

In a weekend post on X, Fico warned that unless Ukraine resumes pumping Russian crude to Slovakia by Monday, Bratislava will cut off its emergency power exports.

Berlin Targets Entrepreneurs: Apprenticeships, Punishment, And Social Decay
Berlin Targets Entrepreneurs: Apprenticeships, Punishment, And Social Decay Submitted by Thomas Kolbe The German capital is hardly a hospitable place for entrepreneurs or founders. Ambitious individuals who aim to build a career outside the state subsidy system and establish their own livelihoods encounter, in this strangest of European capitals, an atmosphere of contempt and hostility.

Parties spare no effort in masking the jointly caused economic and social distortions in the city with an endless media spectacle. Unemployment rises—naturally,...
