The American company Alphabet (Google) announces that it will reduce its workforce by some 12,000 people, 6.4%, after years of “spectacular” growth that has come up against a “different economic reality” like the current one, reports EFE.
In fact, it has already sent a separate email to US employees who have been affected by this workforce reduction, as announced by Sudar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet in a statement.
In other countries, this process of communication to staff will take a little longer to accommodate local laws and practices.
These layoffs have been announced after carrying out a “rigorous review” in all areas and functions of the products, with the aim of rebalancing the company’s costs and directing talent and capital towards its most important priorities.
The company will indemnify employees around the world in accordance with local country practices.
On the other hand, the technology has advanced that it is preparing to launch new experiences for users, developers and companies and has highlighted artificial intelligence as a great opportunity for its products.
All this happens after a 2022 in which the big technology companies have laid off more than 150,000 employees in the world in companies such as Twitter or Meta (Facebook).
