Google LLC is reducing its workforce again in its latest restructuring efforts. The tech company announced it would axe at least 200 staff from its “core” teams.
According to CNBC, this core unit is responsible for building the technical foundation behind Google’s leading flagship products and providing protection to ensure users' safety online.
Moving Jobs to India and Mexico
In addition to terminating hundreds of employees, Google will also move some job positions to India and Mexico. The company did not mention specific roles or units that will be moved to these regions.
This decision is still part of the company’s reorganization, which has been ongoing for some time. In any case, the job cuts affect the core units, which include key technical units from the company’s information technology, security foundation, technical infrastructure, app platforms, different engineering positions, and core developers.
In Google’s most recent filing with the Securities Exchange Commission, it was indicated that at least 50 of the axed roles are from the engineering department of its office in Sunnyvale, California. New York Post reported that the company is expected to recruit replacement employees for some roles in Mexico and India.
Support for Impacted Employees
The firm’s spokesperson confirmed the layoffs and told the media that Google would provide support to workers who would lose their jobs. He added that affected individuals are also permitted to apply to other open roles within the organization.
Lastly, Google’s spokesperson told The New York Post on Wednesday this week that the company offered outplacement services to employees as well as severance offerings as mandated by the law. He added, “As we have said, we are responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead.”
