Google is laying off employees at Waze

It’s unclear how many jobs will be cut.

Firing the sales team = less income = some higher up will see declining profits = it will be killed

      Damn, I missed the news about Google domains. That sucks. Squarespace domain pricing is typically pretty high.

        Yeah it’s super frustrating too because google was one of the few places that you could get a .dev domain, and square space isn’t exactly the most logical place for a developer’s sight

          Marketing team didn’t was aware yet or forgot to turn off the campaign when reassigned

          For stadia, a game dev said that they were shocked by reading the announcement on Twitter, as they spoke with some stadia engineer about their game port to stadia only three hours earlier

          Looks like when Google decides to kill a product, only a few managers know it

      288 services dead

      Pretty sure if this was any other industry there would be a lot of shit thrown, but because its Google they somehow get away with it.

      Wait, why the fuck would they kill off Google Domains? It’s incredibly competitive when you compare it to Namecheap and Porkbun imo.
