The tech industry continues to grapple with layoffs, and Google is the latest company to cut jobs. According to reports, the search giant has been quietly laying off employees in its Google Cloud division over the past two weeks.
So far this year, 164 companies have laid off 116,379 employees, according to Layoffs.fyi, a platform that tracks job cuts across industries in real time.
Google Cloud’s latest round of layoffs has affected employees in its Threat Intelligence Group and Mandiant, the cybersecurity firm Google acquired in 2022. The cuts are in line with broader efforts across Big Tech to reallocate resources toward artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives.
However, the number of employees impacted and the timing of the cuts remain unclear. According to a report in the Business Insider, the tech giant said that the move was its effort to reinvest in growth areas, such as AI.
