What makes you think that TCI was the reason for the layoffs?



Your interpretation of these facts is rather loose.


How so? Here are the facts:

1. TCI writes a letter to Google saying that they should layoff employees.

2. A few weeks later, Google lays off employees.

3. Literally the day the Google layoffs are announced, TCI writes a letter to Google saying "I have appreciated our recent dialogue concerning Alphabet's cost base. I am encouraged to see that you are now taking some action to right size Alphabet's cost base and understand that it is never an easy decision to let people go."

How else should these facts be interpreted.


“Investor makes themselves feel more important than they actually are”


As unilateral self-aggrandizing.


I don't think you can really call it aggrandizing when you're able to CC Google's board and they'll actually read your letter.
