'I stole something valuable...': Ex-Google employee shares story after being laid off

-

The tech sector has witnessed a gloomy phase in the past few months, carrying out massive layoffs globally. As a part of this, Google also laid off thousands of employees as part of its projected plan including over 400 employees in India alone. Ever since the tech giant announced the layoffs, several former employees have been taking to social media handles to share their stories about their time at the company and also about their experiences. LinkedIn is full of such stories by impacted employees who are reflecting upon their professional journeys and also reaching out to any new opportunities in the market.

One such Google India employee who was also laid off by the company was Priyang Davey who worked as a Creative Lead in Mumbai. Taking to LinkedIn, he shared his story in a very optimistic manner stating that he “stole something valuable that he can’t be sued for and i.e., learnings.”

Davey was working at the company for around 8 months and his role was recently terminated by the tech giant.

Former Google employee shares what he ‘stole’ before being laid off

In a lengthy post shared on LinkedIn, Priyang Davey began by how his last couple of weeks went quite eventful due to various reasons including his termination from Google. Stating that the loss of a job brings a sense of grief, he mentioned that it is like a breakup adding that “it kinda sucks, but you’ll choose your next partner who’s wise enough to not break up with you over a text (or an email).”

Furthermore, Davey shared about stealing something ‘valuable’ from Google for which he can’t be sued and that is ‘learnings’ from the company. Thanking some of his colleagues and seniors for their help and support, he concluded the post on a positive note and wrote, “And now I am back on the market, ready to do cool stuff with cool people. I am #OpenToWork – ing anywhere across the world, from my home, your home, or that weird alley where kids skate at night… I promise you I’ll not ghost you as my ex did.”

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
