Recently, Google announced it was laying off approximately 6% of its workforce (or 12,000 people). This brings it in line with most of the rest of the tech industry. The reason given by a publicly contrite CEO was that they’d overhired in the boom following the COVID pandemic and that now they had to address it but they were oh-so-sorry and took full responsibility. Like many others my first reaction to this rationale was “bullshit”. I imagine the same is true for the people at Meta, Amazon, Microsoft et al going through this. I spent 10 years at Google so I have some views on how these things come about and they don’t reflect well on the people running the company.

Hi, I'm glad you found HIVE, and aim high to be a billionaire like Elon Musk, however when making a post here on HIVE you'll need to consider citing your sources, especially image sources like the one you used to make this post. Also unless you were born with the knowledge of the google layoffs, which nobody was, you also need to cite the news story where you got your information. Maybe you heard it on TV, or read a story online??
Unless you actually took this with your camera, which I highly doubt you did, you need to give credit to the original photographer or source where it came from. If you do posts like these then you can become blacklisted by @hivewatchers, or put on the @spaminator list. Just a word to the wise, btw I will be sending you a flag too.

Hello.
The primary abuse here is text plagiarism (which is also the main highlight of this post).
The text was easily found using Google search. You could have reported it in our form instead :-)
By following what is considered the main highlight of the post, the priority of abuse is:
Phishing >
Identity Theft/Deception >
Plagiarism (text/art/photography) >
Copypasta (copied/quoted text that is sourced with little of own and original content added to it. At least 50% of text should be original in addition to properly quoted text) >
Recycled Post (whole or significant amount copied from the previous post) >
Comment Spam/Farming
Thanks.
hey @jirooo I would definitely recommend doing an introduction.
It's optional but would be awesome if you do that. As a sample of what an intro post is, you can refer to this intro post for reference:
Keeping Up With the Buzz - My Introduction to the Hive Community
There's no specific format on how you do your intro post, but there is some suggested content that we would love to see in your post. Information like who are you and where you're from, how did you discover Hive or who invited you, what types of content you want to see here and the types that you want to produce, and what are your expectations in this platform. There's no pressure on this. You can choose whatever information you would like to share.
If you decided to make one, don't forget to tag @macchiata.
