But comments like these are par for the course at Socially Inept, a comedy show hosted by former tech employees who make the audience — which is largely made up of tech workers themselves — the material. Socially Inept was founded by Jesse Warren and Austin Nasso, two former Big Tech employees. AdvertisementNasso, Oster, and Warren met through Seattle's comedy scene when Nasso and Warren worked Big Tech jobs in the city. It makes it seem like you're in on the joke, even when you're also kind of the butt of the joke. And for the most part, it seemed like tech workers in the audience were very self-aware and took their roasts in stride.

CNN —Google is set to open its New York headquarters in a repurposed 1930s railway terminus near Hudson Square on Monday — and the tech giant says the project was designed with nature in mind. Once at the end of the railway now forming New York’s High Line, St. John’s Terminal served as a freight facility and office space. Mark Wickens/Courtesy GoogleGoogle began leasing the St. John’s Terminal site in 2019, and bought it outright in 2022 for $2.1 billion. Mark Wickens/Courtesy GoogleThe building can accommodate around 3,000 workers and is organized into 60 “neighborhoods” for teams of around 20 to 50 people. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, also slashed around 12,000 jobs — then around 6% of its workforce — at the beginning of 2023.

☆ We're raising our Alphabet price target after earnings that shouldn't have dinged the stock

Alphabet delivered better-than-expected fourth-quarter sales and earnings after the closing bell Tuesday. Total revenue rose 13.5% year-over-year to $86.31 billion, outpacing the $85.33 billion expected, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. However, it wasn't enough to jump over the high expectations that come with a stock trading at all-time highs. Google Search sales in Q4, by far the largest contributor to overall revenue, gained 12.7% to a lower-than-expected $48.02 billion.
