So many peoples are moving from android os to harmony os in china. Very soon harmony os will become no.01 os in Asia and other country also.

Android os is too much of gui and less details but harmony os best battery efficiency os.

    I still remember that one huge Google layoff from two years ago. I think like over 10,000 people were let go, even those who worked there for 10+ years.

      They are ready to work in chinese tech companies with better salary.

        I guess AI has advanced quickly and now it starts to replace humans.

          second, Tech companies hired more than they need during the pandemic period. so eventually some employees would be redundant. if you see recent hiring graph/chart, you can understand it.

            Anonymous, 11 Jan 2024Are you high? Unemployment is lower than anytime since WW2.... moreare you serious FR? surely better than post WW2 level but then the world economy was a fraction of what we have now. interest rates are much higher than pre pandemic, because of war and other issues supply chains are broken. we are not in the worst state but not in a better state too.

                Well seeing how useless Pixel hardware team is, no surprises

                    To some your comment may come across bigoted or worse, racist - yet to others in the tech industry know you're not being either.

                    That said, comparing how Pichai Sundararajan, better known as Sundar Pichai, runs Google

                    Satya Narayana Nadella, CEO Ana Chairman of Microsoft .. night and day difference!!

                    One got in and launched products that already existed in another form (Google Drive came from GMAIL'S incredible 15GB storage when gmail debut)! Creating an entire cloud infrastructure that outperforms and infantessmally vast in scalability replacing and complimenting core business strategy ... well you can just tell which is the con man and which inspired confidence.

                    Even their presentations you can tell whom is speaking on behalf of someone and whom led the pack and driving the seed to begin with.

If you're wondering why they sent you mails when your app development has no issues at extreme point... it's because they made adjustments to the process flows without thinking about the consequences. Neither we are trained with the new guidance, and there are no updates from them for MONTHS.

                                      You might receive messages that we'll get back to you. But the truth behind it is that we're waiting for a bunch of useless managers who went for vacations and no updates for urgent situations like this.

                                      If you don't work there, you won't know how horrible the systems and the work environment are.
