Fuck is Pixel going to go away? Apparently the pixel 9 sold well

[–] designated_fridge@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Maybe they just want to downsize cause there isn't as much to do nowadays when the OS is so mature?

The Pixel 9 Pro is incredible. Writing this on it right now. I love it. Previously had the 6. I'll be sad if they go away, for real.

it's got 8 years of updates right? You think it'll last until Google comes back into a pro hardware phase?

So you're being "voluntary" fired? You can't quit when you want?

[–] designated_fridge@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

It's probably implied that if not enough people take this offer - people will be fired.

I've been through tech layoffs. Random people are axed and people who thought about leaving anyways stay. This is a much better solution where those who considered leaving anyways can take them up on the offer.

Get a payout for volunteering to quit. People are fired if not enough volunteer

[–] hayes_@sh.itjust.works 10 points 5 hours ago

You don’t get severance when you quit.

Severance is usually worse if you wait to get fired rather than taking a voluntary exit.

If you aren’t happy at a job, taking an offered exit is often a good decision.

Hilarious, I just got a reach out for working on the Pixel camera

[–] kelargo@lemmy.world 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Are you sure that wasn't a reach around, instead of reach out?

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 6 points 10 hours ago

Ah yes, we need more laid off tech workers in the sector. We nearly don't have enough!
