New Delhi: Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently said that the company has a lot of employees but not enough work. He advised employees to work more efficiently and focus on improving their products and helping customers. According to a Business Insider report, Google is now warning employees about layoffs.
According to the report, some top Google executives have warned employees to either show results or prepare for “blood in the streets”. Managers basically implied that if employees do not improve their performance, they should prepare themselves for layoffs. These officials also said that whether layoffs will happen or not is entirely dependent on the earnings report for the next quarter.
According to the publication, Google Cloud sales leadership has threatened Google employees with “an overall test of sales productivity and productivity in general,” and if the results for the next quarter aren’t good, they shouldn’t “look up” because ” The blood will be on the “roads.”
Things have not been going well on Google for a long time. A month ago, the tech titan announced a hiring freeze due to the ongoing economic slowdown. Although Google had not officially discussed the layoffs at the time, employees were concerned. The reason for this is also many other big tech companies including Netflix and Microsoft. Microsoft recently laid off about 2000 employees, possibly as a cost-cutting measure.
Last month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt asked employees to increase productivity and asked for suggestions on how to get “better results faster.” “There are legitimate concerns that our overall productivity is not where we should be,” Pichai was quoted as saying.
Google recently paused hiring for two weeks to review its workforce and determine its next course of action. Later the company extended the hiring freeze.
