Fire the Massage Therapists

 I trust you know that the giants of big tech are laying people off. Seems they hired too much and now have to pare the staffing.

This also includes depriving their spoiled staff of certain perks-- like massage therapists:


Alphabet-owned Google announced last week it was giving the heave-ho to 12,000 employees — the latest tech company to cut back amid a slowing economy.


The layoffs include more than 1,800 jobs in the company’s home state of California.


About 177 positions were in Los Angeles, mostly at Google’s Playa Vista campus. About 60 jobs were lost in Irvine.


And according to regulatory filings, among the gigs being eliminated are 27 in-house massage therapists — 24 in the Bay Area and three in SoCal.


The freebie era is over. Indulgence is no longer the order of the day. Burning money on useful extravagances has ended. Evidently, it’s a good sign.

Useful extravagances? I think you have been a victim of Autocorrect.
