Google CEO says more layoffs expected 'throughout the year' in internal memo

Jan 18, 2024 - engadget.com
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has reportedly warned employees to anticipate further downsizing later this year, following recent layoffs that affected over a thousand jobs. Pichai sent out an internal memo stating that some teams will continue to make specific resource allocation decisions throughout the year, and some roles may be impacted. However, he reassured that the scale of job cuts won't match the 12,000 job cuts made around the same time last year.

Google is not the only tech company to make redundancies in 2024, with Discord, Meta, Amazon, Twitch, Humane AI, Unity, and Duolingo also making similar moves. LinkedIn's recent launch of its AI-powered "Job Collections" feature is hoped to assist those affected in finding new employment.
