Former Google employee documents ‘day in my life getting laid off’ TikTok video
A woman who regularly posts “a day in my life” videos on TikTok has revealed how the day she found out she had lost her job at Google unfolded.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Nicole Tsai worked at the tech giant as a Partner Services Programe Manager. But on Friday (20 January), Google’s parent company Alphabet announced it was cutting 12,000 employees.
Tsai, who often posts videos about the free perks she gets as a Google employee at the corporation’s offices in Los Angeles, started her latest video by saying she woke up to a “really ominous” text message from her boss.
In the TikTok, which had recieved 3.4 million views at the time of writing, Tsai documented how she “honestly had no idea” that she would be one of thousands who would lose their jobs last week.
Tsai claimed her boss told her to “check her email”, adding: “So I rushed downstairs to find out that I had lost access to basically everything”, including her work email and calendar.
