TikToker Nicole Tsai shared glimpses behind the scenes at Google's LA office Her vlogs had previously showcased all of the perks enjoyed by employees

But her latest updates have shared a new reality after being among those laid off

Google workers who earned viral fame on TikTok by proudly flaunting their aspirational workplaces are now offering a raw and very candid insight into their new realities after being laid off.

TikToker Nicole Tsai, who worked at the company's LA office, was among those who had used the platform to share a glimpse into her life as one of the tech giant's employees.

Her enviable vlogs, which helped her grow her following to more than 36,000, had previously showcased Google's themed meeting rooms, free lunches and a speakeasy bar that was used during 'happy hours'.

But her latest social media updates have been far less glamorous after being among the 12,000 workers laid off by the company.

Sad to say but chairman Mao was right. Send these BLM and antifa turds out to the rural areas to hoe cabbages and dig ditches. I did this when in my youth

They need to find solace. Maybe if they googled it they might turn up something.

The vast majority of those with enough time on their hands to post Tik Toks during working hours were not producers. At best they were enablers of the productive, at their worst they were merely leeches. I would recommend that they learn to code, but.......

When they go, are these laid-off Googlies allowed to take their pronouns with them?

Those snowflakes wanted all that crap. I’ll bet there was an employee survey. My company had one asking what kind of amenities we would like nd I answered free coffee and cash compensation instead.

Oh my! Before I retired, I felt privileged to be invited to the reception after the latest “big-wig” spoke at a lecture about twice a year. It wasn’t because I was special, but because they wanted the auditorium as full as possible. One glass of wine, a small helping of high-dollar canapes, 15 minutes of speaking to others about the lecture, then back to the office I went! Work still had to be done.

Losing her Google gig maybe the best thing to happen to her. Looking at her most recent photo, with all that free Google grub she put on a lot of weight.

I'm gone going to blame companies like google for having nice office perks for their employees, who they expected to practically live on the google campus by working many more hours a day than most people outside of tech.

The problem is, these companies hired way too many people who don't really do much of anything and don't put in the long hours.

Elon Musk demonstrated that you can fire 90% of these people with no appreciable difference to the website. Other tech companies (and corporate buyout firms) quickly took notice.

Cry us a river, snowflakes. One of them was laid off after 3 WHOLE YEARS! Oh, oh, the pain! Try being laid off after 15 or 20 years. Try being laid off when you're 55 (or older).

None of these idiots has any idea what "working" actually is. They're being paid to go to adult day care every day. Their lack of self-awareness is remarkable.

I'd also love to know exactly what it is that these people did at Google.

Tik Tok is owned by ChiComs? Last I heard.

I was forced into upgrading my cell phone (Verizon) a couple of weeks ago. I hate the new 5th gen thing. They hid the knobs again.

The first app that I removed? Tik Tok

Bye Bye

There are several great prison farms in Arkansas. As one woman said when her brother was murdered and the perp, a young man, sent to such a prison,....”Now he can pick cucumbers all day and be B— f——d all night.”
