On the morning of January 24, Beijing time, it was reported that Google CEO Sandal Pichai (Sundar Pichai) told employees on Monday that the recent layoff decision was a decisive move during the company's slowing growth.

At a recent staff meeting, Mr Pichai, chief executive of Alphabet, Google's parent company, said he had discussed the decision to cut staff by 6 per cent with the company's co-founders and board of directors, according to internal minutes. "if clear and decisive action is not taken early, the problems we face may be more complex and serious," he said. "

Google announced on Friday that it would cut about 12000 jobs, the latest tech giant to announce plans for massive layoffs. Although speculation about layoffs has been going on for months, layoffs have still had an impact on some employees. Some employees even find that they have lost their jobs after they cannot access the company's system. However, Pichai stressed that the layoffs are the result of careful consideration. "the layoff process is not random," he stressed. "

Fiona Cicconi, Google's chief talent officer, said at a staff meeting that the size of Google's workforce determined the decision and that the decision could only be made in a relatively small circle. "ideally, we would give advance notice to each manager, but at Google we have more than 30,000 managers," she said. we hope to be sure as soon as possible. "

Another executive said the layoff compensation plan was more likely to give back to employees who had worked at the company for a long time.

Ruth Porat, Alphabet's chief financial officer, stressed at the meeting that layoffs would free up resources for the company to continue to invest in key priorities. "only by taking action early can we create the capacity for long-term investment growth," she said. although the decision to lay off staff is difficult, these are our gains. "
