More Layoffs On The Way As Google CEO Sundar Pichai Gives Hints, Ensuring Efficiency Is Priority!

Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, warned that there would be an additional round of reductions in staff after the business declared in January that it was letting go of 12,000 workers or 6% of its overall employment. Mr. Pichai intimated during a Wall Street Journal interview that the organization would likely experience more layoffs, but he avoided addressing the subject explicitly. 

Mr. Pichai stated they’re very, highly concentrated on the variety of possibilities they have. They believed that there is a lot of work left, on chatbot Bard, Google’s artificial intelligence. It has new Workbench functionalities in Gmail as well as Google Docs, as well as other projects. AI is at a crucial turning point as well.

They are prioritizing and transferring individuals to their most crucial regions where they can, so that is continuing work.

When asked how the business planned to increase efficiency by 20%, Mr. Pichai responded that the organization is considering every component of everything they do” in an attempt to fundamentally re-engineer its cost base. Even though there have been enhancements, he highlighted that more has to be done.

They are attempting to do that in a variety of ways. Every area of what they do is being examined, and as they stated on our most recent conference call. They are considering how to redesign their expenditure base sustainably. The development of sustainable savings is unquestionably their primary goal. They are happy with the development, but there is still more to be done, he remarked.

Google made a 12,000 job layoff announcement in January. Even though there had been months of rumors about the layoffs, several employees still found the news shocking. Additionally, the corporation was said to have terminated some 450 employees in India’s multiple sections in February. Nevertheless, it is unclear if the 12,000 job losses disclosed by Alphabet Inc. are included in the layoffs.
