The Google layoff planning was supposed to be limited to VP+ (L10+) as I understand, with many directors (8-9) finding out about them at the same time as everyone else. Almost certainly it was the same for ICs. OFC I am sure many long time folks are well connected enough to know in advance anyway, but I think it’s unlikely

May not be the same folks, but it surely didnt happen that way.

I feel for the guy referenced in that post, but he shouldn't have gone to work at 4AM "to finish an important analysis", no matter how urgent, especially after a certain age. It can get to you pretty fast, I'm thinking about future health prospects.

You don't get to Daniel Russell's level by sleeping in.
