Google and its parent company Alphabet has quietly laid off staff, spokespeople for the conglomerate said, as tech firms continue to tighten their belts following a marked slowdown in business growth.
Divisions such as Google News, Alphabet’s healthcare analytics subsidiary Verily and self-driving car unit Waymo recently laid off staff, including this week, the spokespeople said. The moves indicate Alphabet is determined to reduce costs even after cutting 6% of staff, 12,000 workers, in January in its first mass layoff in more than a decade.
