A Google employee of 11 years says he and his wife stared at each other in 'disbelief' when they realized they'd both been laid off by the company
A Google employee said he and his wife were both laid off by the tech giant in Friday's mass cull.
Ashish Kalsi wrote on LinkedIn that they stared at each other in "disbelief" that morning as their daughter slept.
Kalsi said he's on an H-1B visa and has a 60-day "countdown" to find a new role or leave the US.
A Google engineer said he and his wife stared at each other in "disbelief" upon learning on Friday they'd both been laid off by the company.
Ashish Kalsi, an associate principal of global engagement on Google's trust and safety team, wrote in a LinkedIn post Wednesday that he and his wife woke up on Friday to find they were both part of the company's cull of around 12,000 jobs.
Kalsi wrote that his wife woke up at 6:30 a.m. to take a meeting at 7 a.m. but found that her work profile was missing and couldn't access internal resources on her laptop. Kalsi said he assumed she'd just missed a security update.
"I checked my phone and everything looked normal, except that it wasn't," he wrote on LinkedIn. "My wife walked into the room shell shocked — I just held out my phone to show her the email I received — she had got one too.
"Two out of the 12,000 Googlers were staring at each other in disbelief in that room while our two-year-old daughter slept peacefully not knowing (thankfully so) what just hit her family."
Kalsi said he'd worked at Google for more than 11 years, starting as an evaluator for search quality on the trust and safety team in 2011. He said he worked at Google on an H-1B visa.
"The dreaded H1b countdown has begun and I'm starting to look for roles," he wrote, referring to the 60-day period immigrants on H-1B visas have to find a new job if they're laid off before they're forced to leave the country.
Google didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
In an email to staff on January 20, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google parent Alphabet, announced the company was cutting 6% of its global workforce. Pichai said he took "full responsibility for the decisions that led us here."

Morgan Stanley penalizes employees as much as $1 million for WhatsApp breaches - source
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Morgan Stanley has imposed financial penalties on employees who used messaging platforms such as WhatsApp for company business, according to two sources familiar with the situation. The amounts were determined by factors such as the number of messages sent, seniority and whether the employees had already received warnings, according to one source familiar with the matter. The move comes after the lender had agreed to pay $200 million to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in 2021 to resolve probes into employee communications on messaging platforms that had not been approved by the company.
