Looks to me that Googlers reading the news of this are quite concerned about their employer being held to account for not only their monopolistic actions, but as a result of that and retaining 90% of the market share, also having virtually close to no serious competition to challenge their monopoly.
It appears that this is the beginning of the end of the big tech party.

I think about it differently. First, the government going after a company for being a monopoly is the goal for every company in a capitalist system. It means they won the game by cornering markets and crushing every possible competitor.
Second, breakups will grow the big tech pie and increase shareholder and employee value. How many small, but growing endeavors has a company like Google killed? How many internal projects never see the light of day because they aren't Google scale day 1? Breaking up some of the current big tech behemoths will unlock and trigger a new big tech party, it will just be spread across more different companies.
