Google has laid off their Python Foundation team and asked them to train their replacements who will be in the Munich office.

In this situation why would anyone actually train their replacement?

Severance.

Yup it probably depends on that. Wouldn't be surprised if they had their stock tied up with it too.

Yeah. Most likely. And in all honesty I’m not sure there’s a better way to try and keep things cordial. Not sure I’d want them to be cordial but..

Oh I would definitely half ass the transition. "Here are the repos, here's what you need to know, severance now please."

Feel bad for the remote workers, not their fault they're being dropped into this, but they're going to suffer for it
