Google announced layoffs on Wednesday (April 17th). The company stated that this will be part of a large-scale restructuring, but the specific number of layoffs has not yet been announced.

A Google spokesperson confirmed that layoffs will affect some employees, but not the entire company. Affected employees will have the opportunity to apply for internal transfers, and some positions may require relocation to other locations such as Chicago, Atlanta, India, and Dublin.

This layoff was carried out after a series of layoffs in the technology and media industries, raising concerns about the possibility of the company continuing to lay off employees in response to economic uncertainty.

Google stated that this restructuring aims to improve efficiency, improve work methods, eliminate hierarchy, and redirect resources to the most important product priorities.

The affected departments include multiple teams from the real estate and finance departments, covering businesses such as finance, commercial services, and revenue cash.
