Chat with a Googler Was Horrifying

Chat with a googler was horrifying Throwaway account. Not giving exact dates, genders, company names, or department names. You'll see why. This is 110% "get fired and sued immediately" stuff. You know how your recruiter sets you up for the "chat with a googler" thing where you're free to ask questions to someone inside Google? Mine went totally sideways. The person my recruiter paired me with straight up asked me if my company was still hiring. I laughed (thinking it was a joke) and said yes, and the person starts acting all panicky and immediately starts telling me about google and their inside operations, and why I need to look elsewhere or stay put. They told me how screwed up everything is... promotions have been almost entirely frozen, no bonuses, constant rumors about another massive wave of layoffs, entire departments getting reorganized, the joke named Bard, Google's only real revenue stream (ads) being threatened, and this person has had their role changed a bunch recently, and they want OUT. They asked if they could add me on LinkedIn, and I said yes. They added me ON CAMERA and asked me to accept, and submit a reference for them at my company. I didn't really know what to say. This person has been in Google between 5-10 years, was selected by my recruiter, and is an above a senior-level SWE level. Very obviously extremely smart, and I think they're panicking because Google may be a lot worse inside than we're hearing. Current TC: 341k Yrs of Experience: 9

Это скриншот поста о собеседовании или неформальном разговоре с сотрудником Google, которого рекрутер представил автору для вопросов о компании. Вместо того чтобы рекламировать Google, сотрудник в панике рассказывает о замороженных повышениях, отсутствии бонусов, слухах о массовых сокращениях, реорганизации и проблемах с Bard, а затем просит добавить его в LinkedIn и дать рекомендацию. Шутка в том, что «чат с гуглером» превращается в отчаянную попытку самого гуглера найти новую работу; мем используют как реакцию на плохое состояние крупной компании или корпоративную панику. EN: This is a screenshot of a post about an interview or informal chat with a Google employee whom the poster’s recruiter introduced for questions about the company. Instead of promoting Google, the employee panics and describes frozen promotions, no bonuses, rumored mass layoffs, reorganizations, and problems with Bard, then asks to be added on LinkedIn and given a referral. The joke is that a “chat with a Googler” turns into the Googler’s desperate attempt to find a new job; the meme is used to react to a large company being in bad shape or to corporate panic.
