Google layoffs: After the rapid development of AI, the process of retrenchment continues in many companies and recently another example has been seen in Google. After excluding about 200 employees last month, Google has again fired more than 100 staff this month. According to reports, the extracted employees were mainly engaged in designing work and this retrench has affected the Quantitative user Experience Research, Platform and Service Experience Departments of Cloud Division.
Tremendous trimming in Google
The responsibility of these employees was to find out the behavior pattern of users through data, survey and research, so that the product can help in designing. The number of staff in many teams was reduced to half, while some other employees were asked to be ready for other roles by December.
This pruning in Google is part of institutional change, in which AI is constantly being emphasized. The company is investing on AI Infrastructure and is increasing focus on important areas for business by planting resources in those places.
Sorting for the third time in a year
This is the second time in the cloud division of Google for the second time in two months. Last month, more than 200 employees working on contract, who were working in AI Tools such as Gemini and AI overview, were also fired. The reports mentioned the low salary of workers, insecurity over jobs and increasing tension between staff-management. Some employees believe that they were evacuated because they protested against working conditions.
Significantly, earlier this year, Google had trimmed the cloud unit to focus on important business areas in the long run.
