Explore Google’s recent job cuts impacting Pixel, Fitbit, Nest, and AR teams, raising questions about necessity amid the company’s profitability, as part of a broader tech industry trend in 2024.
Google recently made big changes in its teams that work on Pixel, Fitbit, Nest, and augmented reality. They say it’s to make things work better and focus on important products.
But some people are not happy about it. A group called the Alphabet Workers Union thinks Google doesn’t need to cut jobs when they are making a lot of money. Even though we don’t know exactly how many people lost their jobs, those who did might get a chance to apply for other jobs within Google.
This job-cutting trend isn’t just happening at Google; other big tech companies are doing it too in 2024.
