Google fires 31 massage therapists amid mass layoffs that cut 12,000 jobs
2023-01-27
[NYPOST] Stressed-out Google employees in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, are getting rubbed the wrong way after the tech giant axed more than two dozen in-house massage therapists, according to filings in California viewed by The Post on Thursday.
The poor darlings — both massage therapists and clients.
Google parent Alphabet — which disclosed last week it is firing 12,000 employees across its business worldwide — laid off a total of 1,845 employees in its home state, the filings dated Jan. 20 showed. Cuts within the state accounted for about 15% of Google’s overall round of layoffs, according to the filing.

The axed employees included 31 massage therapists who worked at various offices within the state — with 27 based out of Google’s sprawling headquarters in Mountain View. The others worked at offices in San Bruno, Irvine and Los Angeles.

Google touts the perk of on-site massages on a section of its career site titled "Googley Extras." The page states that employees have access to "fitness centers, massage programs and ergonomic support," among a host of other supplemental benefits.

The Post has reached out to Google for comment on whether the free massages are still available to the employees who remain.

#3  I think Deshawn understands that this means and will look for corresponding price drops from his vendors.

#1  When I worked for a mid-west tech giant in the 89-2003 range, I noticed that engineers and executives that actually used the in-house corporate gym were usually the first laid off.

I stayed away from the corporate gym for that reason.
