We are thus coming together across the world to be heard.1) Freeze all new hires during the layoff process.

Allow for employee 'swaps' to further avoid compulsory redundancies.Prioritize internal transfer options, prioritized access to jobs without the need to re-interview and agree to a fair severance package.Do not terminate employment when it would adversely affect visaswhich could require workers to return to unsafe or unstable countries.

Our company has long touted its commitment to doing right by its users and workers, and these commitments will show Alphabet adhering to the final line of its Code of Conduct:Do you work for Google or have some insight to share?
