Fired Google employee posts ‘day in the life’ video on TikTok showing her being fired

When Tsai tried to log into her work email and calendar, she received a message that read, “You do not have access.”

The clip then posted an image of Tsai wiping away her tears as she says, “I called my boss back and we were just sobbing on the phone because today was the first time she found out about my firing too.”

The video then shows screenshots of the text messages Tsai sent and received to people on her team and other employees of the company who were also told they were fired.

Tsai echoes a similar complaint from laid-off employees who are quoted in the media as saying that the decision about who to fire was “not based on performance.”

She says she logged into LinkedIn and noticed that there are other people who are “in the same boat” as her and have been fired as well. The experience of logging into LinkedIn and reading about others being fired was “not very good for my mental health,” she said.

“I cried for so many days that I just felt so tired of being sad,” Tsai says. So she used her annual Disneyland membership and headed to the theme park to “eat my feelings.”

Tsai tells how she ate two cinnamon churros, a teriyaki turkey leg, crispy rice, and a corn dog.

“I don’t really know what’s next for me, but I will be vlogging my journey and posting more information about it,” she says.

Before getting the axe, Tsai regularly posted “a day in the life” videos for Google, which have become all the rage among tech workers in recent years.

The Post requested a comment from Google.

During a tense general meeting earlier this week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was bombarded with questions from anxious employees who feared more layoffs.

Pichai denied that the layoffs were accidental and urged his charges to focus on their jobs as the company is in a difficult economic situation that is forcing other tech giants to lay off workers.

“I understand that you are worried about what will happen next with your work,” Pichai said.

Pichai admitted that “it was also very sad to lose some really good colleagues in the company.”

“For those of you outside of the US, the delay in being able to make and communicate role decisions in your region is undoubtedly a concern,” the CEO said.

Other tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, Twitter, Meta and Snap have also laid off large numbers of employees in recent months.
