Big Tech layoffs might have ‘real cultural fallout,’ leadership expert says

There’s nothing more detrimental to the productivity of a workplace than watching trusted colleagues get escorted out of the building amid a mass reduction in force. And with that vibe currently playing out in Big Tech, experts warn job cuts could damage the very fabric of these once-untouchable highly creative institutions. “I think these companies got carried away with overhiring, and they were not careful, and they just hired willy-nilly, and now they’re facing huge layoffs,” Bill George,… Source link

Is open source leadership helping Google?

Google’s love for open source has never been a secret. Though I once made the mistake of taking Google director Chris DiBona to task for not doing even more, the reality is that no company contributes more to open source than Google. This was underlined by new data from the Open Source Contributor Index (OCSI), which found that in July 2022, Google moved past Microsoft in the total number of employees contributing to open source projects on GitHub.
