Alphabet-owned Google is laying off an unspecified number of employees, as the technology giant cracks down on costs, a company spokesperson said as reported by sources.
According to the Google spokesperson, the layoffs are not company-wide. The impacted staff will have the chance to seek for internal roles, the spokeswoman added. However, no details has been disclosed regarding the number of employees affected or the specific teams involved.
A portion of the impacted jobs will be moved to hubs where the company is investing in i.e. in India, Chicago, Atlanta, and Dublin.
With this, it have raised concerns about the possibility of further workforce reductions as companies grapple with economic uncertainty.
“Throughout the second half of 2023 and into 2024, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, remove layers and align their resources to their biggest product priorities,” the spokesperson added as quoted by sources.
