SRNE - Alphabet Layoffs 2023: What to Know About the Latest Google Job Cuts
InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips
Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,GOOG) layoffs are worth checking on Wednesday as recent reports claim Google job cuts are coming to Ireland.
According to these reports, the Alphabate layoffs will see some 240 employees at Google Ireland losing their jobs. The reports claim that this latest round of job cuts is part of the global layoffs Google has in the works.
It’s worth noting that Google Ireland employs about 5,500 people. That means these job cuts represent about 4% of its staff. Also, the cuts are split between the company’s sales, tech, engineering, and support teams.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai initially revealed the company’s global layoff plans back in January. He said that Google intends to cut about 12,000 jobs around the world. Times for layoffs differ depending on local laws, which explains the staggered job cuts news.
Layoffs Continue To Grow
Many industries are being hit hard lately by the current state of the economy. That includes increasing inflation, rising interest rates, and fears of a recession. This has led to several companies announcing layoffs over the last few weeks.
Adding to that, the current economy is weighing heavily on tech companies. That’s resulted in more than just Alphabet announcing layoffs. Plenty of other companies in the space are also reducing headcounts to better weather the rough economy.
GOOGL and GOOG stock are both up slightly as of Wednesday morning.
