A software engineer at Google went on bereavement leave after his mom died from cancer. 4 days after returning to work, he found out he was part of the mass layoffs.

A software engineer says he was laid off from Google four days after he returned to work after grieving his mother, who died from cancer in December.shared on January 26, Tommy York detailed his experience working for — and being laid off from — Google.

"I will say this: onboarding at Google is challenging, there's a lot of 'just figure it out.' It was even more difficult when also dealing with my Mom's chemo appointments, moving her in with family, or the extremely challenging last few months of her life," he wrote. York said the retrenchment was like a"slap in the face, like being hit when you're down." But he also wrote that he has no regrets about having spent time with his mother in her last days.

So this 12 year old studying journalism wrote an article about a guy who worked at google 3 whole months before taking 10 months off for bereavement leave, and we’re supposed to be sympathetic that he got fired? Welcome to the real world! This article is garbage. Do better.

This will be tough to take
