A Google employee said he and his wife were both laid off by the tech giant in Friday's mass cull.

Ashish Kalsi wrote on LinkedIn that they stared at each other in "disbelief" that morning as their daughter slept.

Kalsi said he's on an H-1B visa and has a 60-day "countdown" to find a new role or leave the US.

A Google engineer said he and his wife stared at each other in "disbelief" upon learning on Friday they'd both been laid off by the company.

Ashish Kalsi, an associate principal of global engagement on Google's trust and safety team, wrote in a LinkedIn post Wednesday that he and his wife woke up on Friday to find they were both part of the company's cull of around 12,000 jobs.

“The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, says he is liberal, but argues that “woke progressives” have been pushed to the extreme left. As a result, today’s leftists view him as a “far-right bigot.””

Anti-woke

Anti-union

Anti-democrat

Pro-capitalism

Pro-DeSantis

Works for me.

If I wanted to I’d post a picture of a hand and tell you to talk to it.

But you always seem to be stalking me, so there’s that.

As for South Carolina, that’s the state that elects Graham, Scott, Mace, Gowdy, Clyburn, so I’m not too concerned what those folks think.

Time will tell when the rallies start, if your daddy can draw the support that Pres Trump does.

Then again, you’re the poster child for believing everything you see, hear and read. You and those like you are how Fauci got away with what he did.

Have fun stalking me

In Forsyth Co. they bring over the grandparents, put the house in their name, and get out of paying taxes for the schools their kids use.

"He’ll probably be replaced by an even cheaper H1B."

even cheaper?

$275,000 - $325,000 is "cheaper" to begin with?

Anyone who doesn’t make savings a huge portion of their salary is just whistling past the graveyard. Everyone will experience three such events in their careers.

The savings is only half of the equation. Properly investing those savings, and having a good emergency plan is vital.

A big part of saving/investing is developing a money making side gig that can help immensely in weathering a storm. Sit down and plan this out when you get your first job.

Both stock and real estate investing can be very good. The best plan is some of each.

What does the mortgage holder think of that?

They for damned sure did that. For years. I think the county finally caught onto that.

And they will fill up a house. Numbers. Lots of numbers.

What I find funny, though, is how fast their kids start rejecting those strict rules and rebel.

“Ashish” must be the Hindi spelling of “hashish”.

Exactly what does “an associate principal of global engagement on Google’s trust and safety team” do?

Associate principal of global engagement on Google’s trust and safety team = Quasi-governmental censor

Maybe he can get a job at the John Kerry solar panel factory with all those laid off pipe line workers or learn to code with the unemployed coal miners.
