Alphabet, Google’s parent company, has laid off a large number of workers. Recruitment is almost stopped since the corona epidemic. But layoffs continue. This time, tech-giant Alphabet also cut hundreds of employees from its global recruiting team.
The decision to cut several hundred positions is not part of any layoffs, the company said. The number of teams will be maintained for the main work. Incidentally, this is the first ‘big tech’ company to lay off workers in the second quarter of the new financial year. At the beginning of this year, a large number of workers lost their jobs from big companies like Amazon, Meta, Microsoft.
Alphabet has made layoffs before: In January this year, Alphabet cut about 12,000 employees in its recruiting and engineering departments. Which is about 6 percent of the total workforce. At that time, Amazon also laid off 18,000 workers. About 10,000 workers lost their jobs in Microsoft. Software companies like Google and Microsoft are currently investing heavily in generative artificial intelligence. Then comes the news of this layoff. In the words of Google CEO Sundar Pichai, the company has seen tremendous growth in the last two years. At that time the appointment was also made. But now the situation is different.

Reuters also conducted a survey on unemployment. They claim that the number of layoffs will increase in the future. The unemployment figure could reach 9 percent. The layoffs will affect employees of the company’s HR department, corporate affairs, engineering and product departments. Google says the layoffs are ongoing worldwide. But according to various surveys, it will affect Americans the most.
