• Reports from inside Google suggests employees are quite unhappy with the rollout of Google Bard, its ChatGPT-like AI.
• The employees feel like the announcement was rushed and blame Sundar Pichai.
• Employees are also quick to note that company-wide layoffs don’t paint a good picture of what’s happening behind the scenes.

On Monday, Google rolled out its first consumer-level AI-based chatbot, known as Google Bard. This announcement came just weeks after reports of heavy turmoil within Google, which included CEO Sundar Pichai calling “code red” meetings. The company also just concluded a massive round of layoffs.

Now, a report from CNBC suggests that Google employees — affectionately called “Googlers” — are not happy with the timing of Bard’s rollout. An internal message board used by Googlers is allegedly filled with memes criticizing Google, Pichai, the Bard rollout, the layoffs, and more.
