Google recently announced further cutbacks to employee perks, but staff say the company has been cutting back on freebies for years

After years of shaping the trend of luxurious company perks, Google has been stripping back its freebies amid a huge cost-cutting push. While some of the policies — like— are recent developments, current and former Google workers told Insider that the company had slowly been cutting back on perks and discretionary spending for years.

"As we've consistently said, we set a high bar for industry-leading perks, benefits and office amenities, and will continue that into the future," Ryan Lamont, a Google spokesperson, told Insider.Google has been credited with starting the trend of free, high-quality corporate catering. Some staff, however, told Insider that the food options at Google appear to have been pared back in recent years., a video producer who was laid off in January, said.

A laid-off engineer told Insider that even during his short stint at Google – just over a year – he had noticed team budgets for discretionary expenses being cut, such as meals with colleagues. Over time, Google began to replace the gadgets and cash bonuses with $400 donations to a charity of their choice, current and former workers said.

"In the early days there was a lot of resistance and complaining about it, and doubt about the reasons behind the move," Whitaker told Insider.
