Google, a leading tech giant, has made headlines with its recent decision to cut approximately 200 jobs and shift some roles to India and Mexico. This move is part of Alphabet Inc's broader strategy to trim costs and streamline operations.
Google recently eliminated around 200 roles from its core team and moved some positions to India and Mexico, as part of a significant cost-cutting effort. This includes nearly 50 engineering roles at its California headquarters. According to internal documents, Google plans to recruit new staff in these countries to fill the vacated roles. The core team oversees critical functions like technical infrastructure, user security, and global IT operations, including IT, Python development, and various engineering sectors.
