Google lays off hundreds of employees

According to GSMArena , affected employees received a notice that read: “We have had to make some difficult decisions about continuing to employ some Googlers and we regret to inform you that your position is being eliminated.”

"Several hundred" Google employees lost their jobs

Google later confirmed the layoffs in its Assistant and hardware teams. A company spokesperson said in a statement that it was investing in “its biggest priorities and the important opportunities ahead.”

The Alphabet Workers Alliance, a group representing more than 1,400 employees at Google’s parent company, said the latest round of layoffs was “unnecessary.” In a post on X, the group said Google “cannot continue to lay off its employees while making billions of dollars each quarter.”

Google is reportedly reorganizing to have fewer but more focused teams, which could theoretically lead to a unified product line, both in spirit and function, as employees would pool resources together instead of being separated. For example, the Fitbit team has its own designers, engineers, etc.

This will help the company refine its products in the same way that Apple is doing, as evidenced by the iPhone getting better and better. All of these developments help the company position itself to better compete with Apple.

Google is offering “the usual level of support” and those who lose their jobs will have the opportunity to apply for any open positions within the company.
