Google lays off hundreds of workers – By Daniella Genovese (FOX Business) / Jan 11, 2024
Google CEO Sundar Pichai warned last year that 12K roles globally would be cut
Google is cutting hundreds of roles as part of ongoing efforts to cut costs.
A few hundred employees working on the company’s voice assistant unit and another few hundred people working on the augmented reality hardware team will be affected by the latest cuts. A few hundred roles within its central engineering team are also impacted.
Some roles that are being axed will impact global teams.
“We’re responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead,” a Google spokesperson told FOX Business. “To best position us for these opportunities, throughout the second half of 2023, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, and to align their resources to their biggest product priorities.”
