Episode transcript at: https://blogmykarma.com/ok-googlers-what-will-you-do-about-layoffs-44b54867eef1 

I have lots to say about the motivation of layoffs & what employees at stable companies like Google can do about innovating on corporate structures that emphasize long-term thinking. The post is anchored on Google due to my affinity to the company. But the core narrative applies to any big company with stable profits. 

Topics covered in this post:


Expectations of various personas around a layoff
My views on these personas’ expectations
One thing everyone likes: A growing stock price
Persona who has the most influence on the board who ultimately set goals for execs. Compensation tied to stock price.
Execs are likely good at heart but even better at achieving set goals. Tools and tricks that execs use. Non-goals of execs
So what can Googlers do?
