If you work at Google, beware: another round of layoffs is coming. Google CEO said so.

After Google laid off some 12,000 employees last year, did you think it was over? No.

As we discussed last week, Google is changing its philosophy, which means that in 2024, some people will lose their jobs at Google.

Now the search engine giant is putting its philosophy into practice, as Google CEO Sundar Pichai tells employees to expect more job cuts this year (via The edge).

The report states that Google has laid off more than a thousand employees across various departments since January 10. There is an alleged internal memo that the CEO Sundar Pichai sent to all employees – and the message is to prepare for further cuts.

“We have ambitious goals and will invest in our top priorities this year. The reality is that to create the capacity for this investment, we must make difficult choices,” the memo says.

Pichai assured that the job cuts coming in 2024 will not be “on the scale of last year’s reductions and will not affect all teams”.

To explain further, the 2024 layoffs are intended to “remove layers to simplify execution and increase speed in certain areas.”

This is by no means shocking news, after massive layoffs in recent years at Meta, Amazon and other giants. Even Twitch is not ignoring the trend: one in three employees will leave, while the streaming giant is preparing to lay off nearly 35% of its workforce.

By ReutersThe move adds to signs that job cuts will continue this year, as companies look to adopt artificial intelligence software and automation to ease workloads.
