Petition for layoff protections - is this a sign of things to come?

Saw the news about the petition demanding layoff protections, signed by thousands of employees. It’s wild to think that even at a place like Google, people feel the need to go to these lengths. Makes you wonder what's really going on behind the scenes. Is this a reaction to something specific, or just general unease about job security in the current climate? I've seen a few rounds of cuts lately, and the "quiet layoffs" in cloud were particularly unsettling. It's hard to feel secure when you see teams being reshuffled or people disappearing without much fanfare. This petition feels like a direct message to leadership that employees want some transparency and stability. Curious to hear from others who signed or have thoughts on this. Are you seeing similar trends in your teams or divisions? Does this change how you view your long-term prospects here?
