'Hardest thing I've ever had to write': Laid-off Google employee shares heartfelt note in viral LinkedIn post
Google is reportedly laying off hundreds of employees from its recruiting team globally. One of the laid-off Google employees in the US, who is the sole breadwinner of her family, has shared a heartfelt note on LinkedIn.
«This is probably the most hardest thing I've ever had to write, so please excuse any grammatical errors.
Today was a very difficult day for everyone, including myself,» Vanessa DeCollibus, who was working in the recruiting team at Google, wrote in the post.
«I was affected by Google's layoffs today, and I know that I am just one out of hundreds of fellow extremely talented individuals who have been affected this year in this job market. As the sole provider to my very tiny family, I must be strong and I must move quickly as time is against me,» she added.
DeCollibus, who joined the company in 2021, thanked Google for giving her the opportunity to work at the software giant.
«You have no idea what it meant to me to come from such humble beginnings in life to a position such as this. It was a dream come true that I thought I'd never receive as the daughter of immigrant parents who came to the US for a new opportunity,» she said.
Sharing her experience at Google, Vanessa wrote: «I woke up every morning with such enthusiasm to make a positive impact for potential candidates and strived to find them opportunities.
