Google lays off several hundred employees
Google laid off “a few hundred” employees, according to multiple reports. People from multiple divisions were affected, including those working on the Assistant team, as well as some from the Hardware team, responsible for Pixel phones, Nest home devices and Fitbit wearables.
According to a text reviewed by The New York Times, employees received the following message:
We’ve had to make some difficult decisions about the ongoing employment of some Google employees, and we regret to inform you that your position is being eliminated
Google later confirmed the Assistant cuts and hardware layoffs. A statement from a Google spokesperson read the company is investing in its “biggest priorities and significant opportunities ahead.”
The Alphabet Workers Union, a group representing more than 1,400 workers at Google’s parent company, said the latest layoff was “needless”. The company “cannot continue to fire our co-workers while making billions every quarter”, read a post on X.
