Google axes 200 'Core' employees, shifts some roles to Mexico and India

[Jobhunter]

 

Google is reportedly eliminating approximately 200 positions from its ‘Core’ team, the division responsible for the technical foundation behind the tech giant’s services.

 

The restructuring plan, aimed at aligning with the company’s broader goals, has led to the relocation of some roles to India and Mexico. This decision is part of Google’s ongoing effort to establish growth hubs in these regions.

 

The layoffs were announced internally just before Google’s impressive first-quarter earnings report. The affected employees have been offered the opportunity to apply for other open roles within the company.

 

This move follows Google’s previous decision to cut a staggering 12,000 jobs in 2023. Despite the rebound in digital advertising, the tech giant continues to focus on cost-cutting and restructuring.

 

Will this strategic shift lead to a more efficient and globally diverse workforce? Or will it result in a loss of valuable talent and expertise? We invite you to share your thoughts below.
