Google Layoff: Google has laid off about 200 of its employees. All of them worked in the company’s global business unit, which is responsible for sales and partnership related work. This move is part of the company’s ongoing operational improvements, which is being done in view of the rapid changes in the direction of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud infrastructure.

The information was the first to report about this layoff. All the big tech companies including Google are doubling their investment in data center expansion and AI development. Due to this, Google’s parent company Alphabet has changed the way it allocates its resources. This layoff is part of this change.

Google confirmed the move in a statement to Reuters and described it as a “small” adjustment and said that it has been done to streamline operations, promote collaboration and improve reaction time to customer needs.

Let us tell you that the process of reducing the number of employees in Google has been going on since the beginning of the year 2023. The recent layoffs are also part of this process. Just last month, hundreds of employees were fired from the company’s Platforms and Devices Group, which included major products like Android, Pixel and Chrome.

Earlier, Google’s parent company Alphabet announced the removal of 12,000 people in January 2023, which was about 6% of its global workforce. This decision was taken in view of the economic uncertainty and the need to sharpen the focus. By the end of 2024, Alphabet had more than 183,000 employees.

Google is not alone, but many other big tech companies have also reduced their workforce in recent months. Facebook’s parent company Meta has laid off about 5 percent of its total employees. Microsoft laid off its Xbox division. While Amazon and Apple have also reduced employees in some of their units.
