Google is preparing to lay off more employees. The Alphabet company, to which Google belongs, has recently announced the layoff of more than 100 employees working in its fast-growing cloud department. According to a CNBC report, this cut has affected departments such as sales, operations, engineering and consulting.
What did the spokesperson say?
Google says that the recent layoffs are part of the company's strategy to move forward. A company spokesperson told Reuters in an email that 'we are changing our business keeping in mind the needs of our customers and the big opportunities in the future.' Although employees are being laid off, Google has said that it will continue to invest in key areas that are important for the long-term success of the company.
The pressure is high because of layoffs
Google has recently laid off employees in its cloud department, including those who were working on the company's annual Google Cloud Next event held in mid-April. The company has faced criticism from employees. Employees say that now they have to complete the work at the same time with fewer people. Also, there is concern about fewer opportunities for advancement in the company despite being profitable.
There have been layoffs before
Google has laid off employees several times this year. In fact, this year many technology and media companies faced economic uncertainty and due to this Google fired hundreds of employees in January. Some employees were also fired in April, although it is not clear how many people lost their jobs. Recently in May, Google fired at least 200 employees from its core department, which also included some important engineering teams.
