Google has laid off its director of News Ecosystem Development, Madhav Chinnappa, who had worked for the company for 13 years. He announced the layoff on LinkedIn, but added that he is in a privileged position to have time to figure out his next move.
The tech giant attracted widespread criticism for sacking about 12,000 employees. Several stories of former Google employees being handed the pink slip while on vacation, or on maternity leaves went viral on social media.
