Stunned Google staff want 'psychological safety' after layoffs. 'How are we supposed to ever feel safe again?' one employee asks in a tense all-hands meeting.
During an all-hands meeting on Monday, anxious Googlers peppered executives with questions about the. The overriding sentiment was shock from being suddenly exposed to the vicissitudes of working at a public company during a downturn.
This staffer, and other colleagues, were particularly stunned by layoffs of some Googlers who were high performers, or who had worked at the company for a long time. "Should I keep working super hard? Does it matter?" the staffer added. A third employee, based in the UK noted Google has stressed that"psychological safety is paramount." But the staffer said the company just announced layoffs via an early morning email, and cuts were"chosen by VPs who didn't know the people," while managers were not consulted. This employee also said high performers and people on immigration visas were also let go.This type of disillusionment is particularly risky for Google.
"If you interpret psychological safety as removing all uncertainty, we can't do this," Schindler added. But what we can do is despite clearly prioritizing across our businesses, we try to focus and we try to minimize disruption obviously as much as possible. The reality is sometimes we need to adjust priorities based on the external environment, and this is what happened here.
