August 13 news, according to foreign media reports, Google executives recently clearly told their employees, either good performance, or leave. They warned of layoffs if third-quarter results did not meet expectations.

Employees who work in Google's cloud sales department said senior department leaders told them they would "conduct a comprehensive review of sales performance and overall productivity".

According to the message passed to the sales team, if the third quarter results are "not optimistic, then there will be rivers of blood".

Google employees said they were worried about being laid off because Google quietly extended the hiring freeze in August and made no announcement.

Sundar Pichai, Google chief executive, told employees at a staff meeting at the end of last month that Google employees also needed to increase their attention and productivity as the severe global economic situation forced the entire technology industry to generally tighten their belts.

Pichai said he wanted to consult employees on how to "get better results faster."

"it is clear that we are facing a challenging macroeconomic environment and the future is even more uncertain." Pichai said. "what is really worrying is that our overall productivity is not as high as our existing workforce should be."

Google also reportedly announced a two-week hiring freeze last month, but so far has not changed that decision, making employees worry about the worst.

One Google employee said that since Pichai made the comments, "everyone is talking about how the company tightens its belts."

Google is not the only technology company that warns its employees.

Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive and founder of Meta, the parent company of Facebook, called the current economic situation "one of the worst global economic downturns we have seen in recent years" and adopted a series of cost-cutting measures such as a hiring freeze.

Zuckerberg also made it clear that the company will fire employees who perform poorly.

"in fact, there may be a group of people in the company who shouldn't be here," Zuckerberg said at a staff meeting at the end of June. "

Twitter, Facebook's rival in social media, has also recently begun to lay off staff. In a message earlier this year, Parag Agrawal, Twitter's chief executive, told the company to suspend hiring on the grounds that recent Twitter growth and revenue had lagged behind expectations.

The company was in chaos after Tesla CEO Elon Musk agreed to buy Twitter for $44 billion, but Musk later pulled out of the deal. Twitter is currently suing Musk in an attempt to get Musk to implement the acquisition in accordance with the terms of the original agreement.
