‘Google is laying off several employees’, said a company spokesperson marking the latest cuts at the technology giant as it cracks down on costs.
The Google spokesperson said the layoffs are not company-wide and that affected employees would be able to apply for internal roles but didn’t mention the number of employees impacted nor the teams involved.
A small percentage of the impacted roles will move to hubs the company is investing in, including Bharat, Chicago, Atlanta and Dublin.
The layoffs follow a slew of job cuts across Google, and the tech and media industry this year. ‘Throughout the second half of 2023 and into 2024, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better’, the spokesperson added.
Employees across several of Google’s teams in its real estate and finance departments have been affected, according to the media sources. The finance teams affected include Google’s treasury, business services, and revenue cash operations, it added.
Google’s finance chief, Ruth Porat, sent an email to staff saying the restructuring includes expanding growth to Bangalore, Mexico City, and Dublin.
Google let go of hundreds of workers across multiple teams in January including its engineering, hardware and assistant teams as the company ramps up investment and builds its artificial intelligence offerings.
