Continuation of Workforce Reduction

These recent layoffs follow a prior round of substantial workforce cuts Google undertook in January. During this earlier reduction, Google decided to eliminate a staggering 12,000 jobs, representing approximately 6% of its extensive global workforce comprising nearly 187,000 employees. It’s worth noting that when these previous layoffs were announced, the company communicated the news through a blog post, opting not to specify whether Central Texas employees were affected.

Insights from Google Spokesperson

Courtenay Mencini, a spokesperson for Google, provided insights into the company’s decision-making process. She emphasized that Google remains committed to investing in top engineering and technical talent, even as it significantly slows down its overall hiring efforts. According to Mencini, this shift in strategy is reflected in the reduced demand for recruitment services within the organization. Consequently, Google has made the challenging choice to downsize its recruiting team.
