Google CEO: Job Cuts Will Continue Through 2024 – The Information

Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday acknowledged the companys recent wave of layoffs for the first time, warning staff in an email that cuts would continue throughout the year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the email.

Google in the past week laid off more than 1,000 people across teams including hardware, ad sales and Google Assistant, mirroring recent job cuts at other major companies such as Amazon and Meta Platforms. Google had 182,381 employees as of September, meaning the cuts are tiny on a percentage basis. A year ago, it cut 6% of its staff at the time, or 12,000 people, but Pichai said cuts this year wouldnt rise to that level.
