Jan 20 (Reuters) - Google's parent Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) is eliminating about 12,000 jobs, or 6% of its workforce, it said Friday, as Silicon Valley reels from recent layoffs and faces a troubled outlook.
Alphabet, whose shares rose 3% in pre-market trading, is making the cuts just as the U.S. company confronts a threat to its long-held perch atop the technology sector.
For years Alphabet has attracted top talent to build Google, YouTube and other products that reach billions of users, but it is now locked in competition with Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) in a burgeoning area known as generative artificial intelligence.

Zero, they won’t fire the H1-B workers since they can rape them financially.
More white males down the wood chipper.
Really great thing is all these people getting laid off from these big tech companies they are not gonna be able to find another job In tech somewhere else they are going to have to find something else to do

Oh wait...
There aren’t many white, conservative, real family men working for wokester companies in Silicon Valley. That’s just a fact.
Present your facts.

Mining Coal.

China is opening a new coal power plant every 4-5 days. All those coders need to learn how to dig coal - in China.
Maybe learn to dig coal?😁
I don’t know cause seems like that cities making the minimum wage $15 has caused these places to automate. I suspect those wages passed a threshold where it became more cost effective to install robotics
The push for robotic manual labor has nothing to do with spot price of unskilled human labor. Robotics are more efficient than slaves which make $0/hr.
Plus there’s the added benefit that robotic labor is not yet subject to wage taxes
