Google Layoff: The matter of retrenchment of Meta is in discussion, whereas now Google has also announced the retrenchment of employees in its China office. Google 's China division has started laying off employees after the company's CEO Sundar Pichai announced plans to lay off 12,000 employees globally in January . According to reports, the current round of layoffs in the Google China office is to reset the salary standard . Apart from this, there is an attempt to improve the overall work efficiency and reduce the operating cost. This round of layoffs in the Google China office will have the biggest impact on high paid senior employees.

According to the report, some staff members will get last month's salary, stock and annual leave discount, CNY 30,000 (Rs 3.5 lakh) in cash and medical insurance if they quit before March 10.

Google India

Before China, Google started laying off employees from the India division. Last month, the company abruptly fired around 450 employees from different divisions. Major offices of Google India are in Gurugram, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Google's Singapore office had laid off some employees. At that time, Google India VP Sanjay Gupta had said in a letter to the employees that the company had reviewed the product area and functions. He said that we have already sent a separate email to the affected employees in America. In other countries, this process will take longer due to local laws. Google's previous program manager Nicole Tsai said that the layoffs were actually random and no one was consulted on this decision.
