Quite a shocker. Dan Russell, a computer science legend, was affected by the recent layoffs at Google
"I still believe that google's got a great mission".
I guess that's not reciprocated anymore.
If I heard a company lays people off by locking them out instead of actually telling them to their faces first (I’m assuming meaning they don’t even trust you enough not to steal information or sabotage after being fired?) then I’d make a mental note not to apply for a job there, ever.
Was it always like this or is this a new phenomenon? I haven’t heard about anyone being locked out before hearing they are getting laid off, unless there was serious wrongdoing. But I’m not in the US.
Ok and? Wish we would recognize that these individuals will be fine? He's been at Google for 17 years. Surely he's a multi-millionaire by now and can vacate for someone else.
he must have angered somebody on the board but what bad press for a gooey company

This also mentions, “The VP of UX, Bobby Nath, found out when his home Google Nest hub stopped working because it was connected to his work email.”
Though given the uniform high quality of Google UX, this one seems justified.
