The job cuts mostly hit software engineers, counting 50 Sunnyvale-based workers across three offices on Crossman Avenue. Google disclosed the details in a WARN filing on April 24, as is required... in the event of mass layoffs. Per the WARN, the permanent layoffs will officially go into effect in June and the employees have already been notified.
CNBC reported that the cuts are part of a 200-worker layoff within Google's 'Core' teams, which work, per the company's website, on flagship Google products, online safety, and IT infrastructure. 'Many Core teams will hire corresponding roles in Mexico and India,' CNBC wrote, citing internal documents.
In response to SFGATE's questions about the 50 Sunnyvale layoffs, Google spokesperson Robert Morlino provided a statement that said the company is 'responsibly investing in our company's biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead' and 'reducing bureaucracy and layers.'
