Google to Layoff 6% of Workforce

From earlier: "Google to reduce workforce by 12k" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34451051)

Twitter lays off 3k and people freak. Google lays off 12k..crickets..

60% versus 6%? That's an order of magnitude difference.

Has Google recently changed ownership?

please get rid of essentially ALL of the UI designers!

Google has UI designers? Where have they been hiding all these years?

They haven’t been hiding. Every time something at google gets worse someone made a UI change they mistakenly thought would make things better.
