It is unknown what kind of future Google has in mind for the company beyond the recent closure of Google Stadia, but according to what we can read in a Google blog post, The dismissal of 12,000 company employees has been carried out, as they explain, to prepare for the future of the company.
This figure includes workers globally, so it is unknown how many people have been fired both in the United States and in other countriesbeyond the total that we have already mentioned.
This figure represents 6 percent of the entire Google workforce.therefore, although it is not indicative of problems in the company, It is still a very large layoff that makes it clear that the economic flow is much less than two years agowhere thousands of workers were hired.
Given that Google is the latest company to jump on the layoff bandwagon, It is not surprising that there is talk of the enormous growth that Google suffered -like the rest of the technological companies- due to the pandemic, and now that it is returning to a relative normality, We also see how the economic landscape has changed drastically.
