Google has laid off its Python Foundation team (1 minute read)
Google has asked its recently laid-off Python Foundation team to train its replacements, who will be in the Munich office. The company similarly laid off its finance department a few weeks ago, moving positions outside of the country where they are cheaper. The Python Foundation team maintained a stable version of Python within Google, tools to keep thousands of third-party packages constantly updated from their open source versions, highly customized tools, and much more. It also acted as a help desk for Python users at Google. The team performed its duties for years with fewer than 10 people.

Anyone, who thinks that by doing a “good job” their employment is “safe”, here’s a wake up call.
Remember your real job is finding your next job. Ignore this at your own peril.
