And then some of those that walked out will work for Google also due to job market shit fuckery. What a time to be alive
New grads can get jobs?
Yeah the ones who left the graduation speech early got the 10 jobs that were available.
j/k those jobs went to someone's cousin.
I've seen it happen! She... lives in Canada, you wouldn't know her
Not at Google, Amazon, or Meta. Some companies are still hiring new grads to make entry level engineers into their future senior engineers, but it's usually older companies.

I love how they do that entire article and then immediately stick in a shill for fucking AI stock at the bottom.
While we acknowledge the potential of IBM as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
I think this whole thing was written for people from r/WallStreetBets to masturbate to.

Dozens
the local news outlet SFGate estimated it was as many as 200
No mention of how many people are graduating
Reee it's difficult to estimate how big of a deal this was if the total number of participants isn't mentioned.
On wiki it says there are about 1700 undergrads per class, so if it's that plus some grad students at graduation, 200 walking out could be maybe a tenth of the attendees. Sounds pretty noticeable.
Very rare for the ceremony to be the entire graduating class. Its usually broken down by school.
200 is over sixteen dozens
That's almost dozens of dozens.
It's more than one and one third dozen dozens.
It's about a bakers bakers dozen bakers bakers dozens.
Also known as a dirty dozen

Their ego is disgusting, every time they open their mouths they are met with disdain and they still don't get it.
Because this diverges from their day to day and how everyone else treats them. "Surely these students are the ones that are wrong".
I recently read Sarah Wynn-Williams' book about working at Facebork. Among many other revelations (like, her boss pressuring her to describe the blood coming out of her vagina from a post-birth hemorrhage - something so awful I wonder why in the hell I'm even telling this other story) she said everybody there constantly let Zuckerberg win board games. So in addition to everything else wrong with him, that pale-to-the-point-of-translucent tiny man gets to think he's amazingly good at board games.
To her credit, Wynn-Williams kicked the shit out of him at Settlers of Cataan and then even pointed out to him where he fucked up.
They don't need to. They're still making more each year than you or I will make in our entire lives.
They make more than we’ll make in our lives before lunch. Every day.
His current pay package is about $233m/yr. That's about $112k/day. I think your math might be off. Even if you make $7.25/hr, you'll make $112k in just over eight years. Still an absurd disparity, but not as far as you say.
BLS lists the median annual salary as $62k. So, he does make more money in a half day than the majority of Americans make in a year. There's no way any one person deserves that much money.

They are probably aware but want to campaign in an effort to change public perception of AI. It will provide less resistance and more opportunities for their company as this gets forced through.
Also, USA lives in a world where someone's word holds no accountability. All companies/media needs to do is keep pushing how great AI is and people will start to believe it. Facts to support their opinions aren't necessary. The blowback seen is probably from the minority of people who care about fact checking and accountability.

So, abbreviations start from the rear end now?

Ah, yes, that's probably it: his rear end is full of shit.
