This is the first I’ve heard of any layoffs at Google. Webguild is reporting that since August, Google has been laying off hundreds of workers.
Why isn’t this being reported? Well according to Webguild, Google actually has around 30,000 workers even though the company publicly reports only around 20,000. They get by reporting these extra 10,000 employees by classifying them as “temporary” and shifting their job functions around every few months.
If this is true, then it adds more evidence that this recent economic downturn is affecting Google more than they’d like to admit.
