Description:
Google employees questioned leadership about cost cuts, layoffs, and declining morale at an all-hands meeting after Q1 earnings beat estimates. CEO Sundar Pichai said most layoffs will be completed in the first half of 2024, with a much smaller scale in the second half. CFO Ruth Porat said expenses grew faster than revenue, which isn't sustainable, and the focus is investing in growth areas. Porat defended share buybacks and dividends, saying cash can't just be drained and the board has fiduciary duties.

Mike explained why it was so special, “this is one of the only working monster trucks out there, still running leaf-sprung suspension - most drivers can't handle it because it is so hard on the body.” He continued, “it looks totally different from any other monster truck out there.” The first thing that anybody sees when faced with Big Pete is the truck’s most prominent feature - huge tyres, which cost over $4500 each. “The pressure that we run in these tires helps with the suspension”, Mike explained.Big Pete’s unique body is built with genuine steel and aluminum. \")
