Google announces layoffs in US-based HR, cloud units to cut costs and invest into AI infrastructure: Report
Hindustan TimesGoogle has told staff in its “People Operations” and cloud organisations in the US this week that it is planning a layoff as part of an internal reorganization. This comes after chief financial officer Anat Ashkenazi said that one of her top priorities would be more cost-cutting as Google missed its fourth quarter revenue expectations and is also looking to expand its spending on Artificial Intelligence infrastructure this year, according to a CNBC report. Employees who are level 4 and level 5 may also get a severance of 14 weeks of salary along with one additional week for every full year of service, the report read. Google also made job cuts to several teams within its cloud unit, which affected sales operations, customer experience, internal deal, and go-to-market teams. Google in January had also said that it would offer buyouts to US “Platforms and Devices” unit employees ahead of expected cuts.
