Laid-off Google employees are turning to a Discord server with nearly 18,000 members for emotional support and financial advice
Google employees who were recently laid off have joined a Discord server to get emotional support and financial tips after departing from the tech giant.
The Discord server was created on January 20 — the day Google announced around 12,000 roles would be cut from its workforce, said Zac Bowling, awho worked at Google for nearly eight years. It gained 5,000 members in a day and has accumulated thousands more since, he said. There are also channels where employees can seek advice around severance and taxes, mental-health support, and information about the Alphabet Workers' Union. Bowling said there are even channels where former Google workers can help laid-off staff find new jobs, set up mock interviews, and review résumés.
"There's been a lot of discussion, venting, and emotional processing," he said."It's definitely very touching to see a lot of people are coming together to support each other very quickly over a tough moment."
