Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

On the morning of March 7, Beijing time, Google warned employees that fewer employees would be promoted to senior positions this year than in previous years.

"the promotion process is dominated by managers, basically similar to last year-but as we slow down hiring, we plan to reduce the number of employees who can be promoted to a higher level of L6 than in the period of rapid growth." Google said in an email. In Google's employee sequence, L6 belongs to the first level of senior employees, usually including some senior employees with about 10 years of work experience.

The change comes at a time when Google is deploying a new GRAD performance evaluation system. It was reported last year that the system would allow more Google employees to get lower performance scores and fewer people with high scores.

Like many large technology companies, Google has a large middle management team. An internal survey last year showed that this had a negative impact on the company's product development efficiency. In addition, Google is slowing hiring and announced in January that it would cut 12000 jobs, or about 6 per cent of its workforce.

Google said in an email on Monday that the reduction in the number of promotions at the top "is to ensure that the number of senior and leadership positions is proportional to the growth rate of the company as a whole".

"if your boss thinks you are qualified for promotion, they will nominate you." The e-mail says. Employees in technical positions who want to "self-nominate" can do so during the "short window" from March 6 to 8.

Google has yet to comment.
