Google Lays off More Staff, Shifts Some Roles to India, Ireland

Dow Jones04-18

By Kimberley Kao

Google is cutting more jobs as the technology giant looks to curb costs while pursuing more investments in artificial intelligence.

Multiple teams are affected, a Google spokesperson confirmed Thursday without elaborating on the number of people who have been laid off, but said the job cuts weren't company wide.

Some roles affected will be moved to other international hubs like India and Dublin, where the company is investing, the spokesperson said.

"We're responsibly investing in our company's biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead," the Google spokesperson said.

The company is helping those affected to look for other roles internally.

Google, led by Chief Executive Sundar Pichai, has been trying to focus on developments and investments in artificial intelligence while also cutting costs.

About a year ago, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, laid off approximately 12,000 employees, which accounted for about 6% of its workforce.

Subsequently, the company made additional minor cuts, including hundreds of recruiters and dozens of employees in various departments such as self-driving car business Waymo and the Google News product.
