Google software engineer Tommy York, who was laid off just days after returning from bereavement leave following the death of his mother, expresses disappointment in a LinkedIn post and thanks the company for the severance package received.

Among the 12,000 employees that Google has laid off, a software engineer has said he was fired by his employer just days after returning to work from a bereavement leave following the death of his mother.

Tommy York, who is based in San Francisco in the US, wrote in a LinkedIn post that his mother died in December 2022 after battling stage-four cancer.
"I was laid off from Google last week. I found out on my fourth day back from bereavement leave for my mom, who died from cancer in December," York wrote.
