More job cuts, more reorgs. Is anyone at Google safe?

Just saw the news about the latest round of layoffs, this time hitting the Global Business Unit. Honestly, it feels like every other week there's a new round of 'streamlining' or 'reorganization' that ends up with people on the street. I've been here for a few years and the stability that used to define Google feels like a distant memory. People are stressed, constantly looking over their shoulders, and wondering if their team or project will be the next to get the axe. It's hard to stay motivated when you see so much talent being let go, often with little explanation. Are they just clearing house to make room for something new, or is this a sign of deeper issues within the company? Feels like a really uncertain time to be a Googler.

It's disheartening to see the constant churn. The culture used to be so about innovation and growth, now it feels more like survival mode. People are understandably anxious, and it's a shame because there are so many talented individuals there who are just trying to do good work. The lack of clear direction or long-term vision seems to be really impacting morale and productivity across the board. Hoping things stabilize soon for everyone's sake.
