Google has recently announced fresh job cuts, following a 6% reduction in staff last year. The tech giant has already laid off over 1,000 employees this month, with CEO Sundar Pichai indicating further layoffs in the coming year. Google expects to pay around $700 million in severance costs this quarter, as stated in Alphabet's latest results. These cuts have been met with resistance from remaining employees, who are criticizing the company's leadership and the changing workplace culture. The layoffs may have long-term consequences for retention and recruitment, impacting the company's reputation as an attractive employer.
