Tech giant Google is learnt to have sacked around 450 employees across various departments in India. The employees were reportedly informed of their termination through mail late at night on Thursday.
"I was a part of Google India layoffs. At Google, my energies were focused on delivering digital marketing goals for multiple industries at the top of their food chain in India, as a strategic key account manager. I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support."
Another employee, who survived the layoffs, expressed support for those who didn't."It's really difficult to see them (colleagues) go through this," he said. "It is even more difficult; as you don't know how to talk to them, what to say."
Google announced in January that it will cut 12,000 jobs around the world, because of changed economic realities."Over the past two years we've seen periods of dramatic growth," CEO Sundar Pichai had said while announcing the layoffs. "To match and fuel that growth, we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today."
Layoffs at Google came close on the heels of massive job cuts by Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and Twitter. Slashing of jobs at Disney has also made headline in the recent weeks. The company laid off 7,000 employees last week amid a decline in streaming subscribers.
