BREAKING: Google says it’s laying off 12,000 workers, becoming the latest tech company to trim staff after rapid expansions during the COVID-19 pandemic have worn off.

Workers help set up the Google booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center before the start of the CES tech show, Monday, Jan. 2, 2023, in Las Vegas.

LONDON — Google is laying off 12,000 workers, becoming the latest tech company to trim staff after rapid expansions during the COVID-19 pandemic have worn off. The Silicon Valley giant’s CEO Sundar Pichai shared the news Friday in an email to staff that was also posted on the company’s news blog. He said that the company has hired for “periods of dramatic growth” over the past two years but that was a “different economic reality than the one we face today.”

This is ridiculous and not fair! I’m so sorry to the workers today who received this notice this morning 💔💔💔 Google should not have done this

fowlerbd2m Lolol

NotEyeman You called it! chuckietoyou

Another massively profitable company laying off workers for no other reason than generating even more of a massive profit. It’s disgusting.

Just like their f-upped planning prior and during the pandemic, all of these corporations are taking their errors out on the 'economy' (us!)

Lest we forget, these companies are worldwide entities. These layoff numbers don’t necessarily mean they are all US workers.

Same company that pays men for 24 weeks after the birth of their child. Maybe some of these generous policies are best for the companies overall health.

Damn the post pandemic environment isn’t tech friendly because of overspend…

Learn to mine 🤷🏻‍♂️.

KXAN_News But but but Brandon keeps saying the economy is great . . .

Is this coordinated? Union of companies in work? But union of IT workers is forbidden?

Are they cutting salaries for high level executives?

There are 12,000 people in my hometown. That's an incredible concept, that many out of work.

They trash twitter and tesla still these liberal tech companies are doing the same.

don't worry, JB will 'create' more jobs

Coders, learn to coal mine.

Le sigh
