About the laying off of employees
According to a report in The Information, Google plans to ease out 10,000 employees through a new ranking and performance improvement plan. “A new performance management system could help managers push out thousands of underperforming employees starting early next year. Managers could also use the ratings to avoid paying them bonuses and stock grants,” the report mentioned.
Pichai had said the company is “still investing in long-term projects like quantum computing. But it’s important “to be smart, to be frugal, to be scrappy, to be more efficient”.
“We’re committed to taking care of our employees. I think we’re just working through a tough moment macroeconomically and I think it’s important we as a company align and work together,” said Pichai.
“The macroeconomic performance is correlated to ad spend, consumer spend, and so on,” he told the audience.
