That is their right, of course. Could this be a sign that it is tough in the SWE job market at the moment?! Usually moving on from Google would have been a non-issue to find a new job.

No. There's plenty of companies hiring everywhere. SWEs will not be unemployed.
It's probably tough only if you expect to still make post-pandemic boom Google TC and perks at Google WLB.
Which is why it's wise to avoid lifestyle inflation. If you ever land a lucrative job during a boom, don't expect it to last forever and start buying Ferraris and max out your loans. Be humble and wise with your spending so you can whither any storm.
The cost of a sports/luxury car seems reasonable, esp for a high income earner, maybe 30-50% more than something more modest. But the upkeep is literally insane. A brake job on an Audi can cost 3-4x that of a Honda. Oil changes can be 2-3x.
A lot of modern sport cars are currently going up in value because new cars are either unavailable in the short term or not satisfying enough to the car enthusiast crowd.
In general used car prices/trade-ins were sky high last summer because of lack of new car availability. Not sure what it's like currently. My sense was that supply chain woes had eased somewhat.
I don't think so. The article says that this about the union being ignored. At this point it seems like a European ethos vs American. The Europeans are standing up for the collective right unions. It think this gets lost on Americans.
