Google said on Friday that it will be laying off 12,000 people from its workforce, adding to the slew of major U.S. tech companies cutting jobs amid fears of an oncoming recession. Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, said in an email sent to the company’s staff Friday that the firm will begin making layoffs in the U.S. immediately. In other countries, the process “will take longer due to local laws and practices,” he said. The web search and video sharing giant will offer U.S.-based employees 16 weeks of severance pay plus two weeks for each additional year they’ve worked at Google, Pichai added. Tech companies are facing a variety of challenges at the moment, not least rising interest rates and inflation over the past year that have clobbered technology shares and forced advertisers to cut back on online ad spending. Hikes to interest rates from the U.S. Federal Reserve in particular have led to souring appetite for American tech shares. The gloomy macroeconomic climate has in turn piled pressure on those companies to make deep cuts to their workforces. On Wednesday, Amazon began a fresh wave of job cuts affecting over 18,000 people. That same day, Microsoft announced plans to lay off 10,000 workers. Twitter, under the leadership of Elon Musk, has also made redundancies, slashing over half of the company’s headcount since taking over as CEO late last year.
The layoff move from Google Friday comes after CNBC reported Wednesday that the firm was deferring a portion of employees’ year-end bonus checks until March or April instead of January. Read the full memo Pichai sent out to staff on Friday: Googlers, I have some difficult news to share. We’ve decided to reduce our workforce by approximately 12,000 roles. We’ve already sent a separate email to employees in the US who are affected. In other countries, this process will take longer due to local laws and practices. This will mean saying goodbye to some incredibly talented people we worked hard to hire and have loved working with. I’m deeply sorry for that. The fact that these changes will impact the lives of Googlers weighs heavily on me, and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us here. Over the past two years we’ve seen periods of dramatic growth. To match and fuel that growth, we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today. I am confident about the huge opportunity in front of us thanks to the strength of our mission, the value of our products and services, and our early investments in AI. To fully capture it, we’ll need to make tough choices. So, we’ve undertaken a rigorous review across product areas and functions to ensure that our people and roles are aligned with our highest priorities as a company. The roles we’re eliminating reflect the outcome of that review. They cut across Alphabet, product areas, functions, levels and regions. To the Googlers who are leaving us: Thank you for working so hard to help people and businesses everywhere. Your contributions have been invaluable and we are grateful for them. While this transition won’t be easy, we’re going to support employees as they look for their next opportunity. In the US:We’ll pay employees during the full notification period (minimum 60 days).We’ll also offer a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google, and accelerate at least 16 weeks of GSU vesting.We’ll pay 2022 bonuses and remaining vacation time.We’ll be offering 6 months of healthcare, job placement services, and immigration support for those affected.Outside the US, we’ll support employees in line with local practices. As an almost 25-year-old company, we’re bound to go through difficult economic cycles. These are important moments to sharpen our focus, reengineer our cost base, and direct our talent and capital to our highest priorities. Being constrained in some areas allows us to bet big on others. Pivoting the company to be AI-first years ago led to groundbreaking advances across our businesses and the whole industry. Thanks to those early investments, Google’s products are better than ever. And we’re getting ready to share some entirely new experiences for users, developers and businesses, too. We have a substantial opportunity in front of us with AI across our products and are prepared to approach it boldly and responsibly. All this work is a continuation of the “healthy disregard for the impossible” that’s been core to our culture from the beginning. When I look around Google today, I see that same spirit and energy driving our efforts. That’s why I remain optimistic about our ability to deliver on our mission, even on our toughest days. Today is certainly one of them. I’m sure you have many questions about how we’ll move forward. We’ll be organizing a town hall on Monday. Check your calendar for details. Until then, please take good care of yourselves as you absorb this difficult news. As part of that, if you are just starting your work day, please feel free to work from home today. -Sundar

We’ll also offer a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google, and accelerate at least 16 weeks of GSU vesting. 我理解是多16个星期的vesting而已。如果半年前招进去的，第一年的股票加16个星期可能都不到。。。不过at least 不知道是啥意思，每个人还不一样？ 但应该不会是所有股票都vest。最多是到下一个vesting period吧

这就是最佳时机裁他，这种人老板还留着过年啊？万一啥时候把自己告了 惹一身骚
也就8个半月的工资， 微信群有些琐南们还挺同情九天渣， 有的就很气愤说，因为九天渣，老婆去改了WILL,把婚前财产转给了儿子
两个星期很良心了。我前东家关门，听前同事说只有一周。

Googlers,

羡慕这个分手包
在 NFLX， GOOG 带领下今日美股不会来个暴涨吧
亚洲中国及大中华圈股市农历年最后一个交易日强势收高，接下来有3-7天的休市
欧股也很强劲
无人关心 debt ceiling?
老大都出手了，其他人肯定得表示表示吧
做给花街看的吧 不是真没钱了
停了就要裁厨师啊🧑🍳
苹果招人一直非常慢，所以应该不会和其他科技公司一样裁很多人。
地里有人说他被裁了
总算听google的人说上班一两个小时一天，周五不上班，就奇怪了资本家在做慈善事业?
报应，就等老三卷款跑路了
做梦吧
狗家的真是令人羡慕
三去了亚麻。卷款跑路估计不至于，九天渣的工作要真没了，现在离了三还得付他赡养费吧。
不过三挖来的金矿变废矿这一点还是挺喜闻乐见的。
看到一个说老公在亚麻前两天被裁了，之前一年没什么工作，我一直以为亚麻很忙
九天渣没这么蠢吧 钱希望留给孩子们
lz发这个贴就是想奚落马公被裁。结果发现马公就算被裁，拿的钱也是人上人。难怪现在这么多人羡慕嫉妒恨马公。以后科技公司裁员越来越多，马公只是拿个大包正好跳槽或者退休。酸都酸不完。
source！
很多人关注马工裁员是因为大环境不好，唇亡齿寒 偏偏你这种言论才是让很多人反感的原因
挺好的，G家为民除害了。
看把琐南急得 难道是九天本渣？
渣还挺"运气"的，一直能吃到老婆，还真是the lowest of the low
大家真的是被此男恶心坏了。。。
他的仨在稍软，有没有被裁，期待好消息
名单在哪儿？没听说一个认识的人受影响。
这个包裹还是良心。但只是BASE 的4个月吧，BASE 大部分20来万，再一缴税其实就不多了，也就到手4，5万
Base绝大多数都没有20万吧
渣渣会不会和狗家打官司？
前言不搭后语，既然科技公司裁员越来越多，马公跳槽去哪里？
股票也是发半年，分手包裹挺好的，但不管怎么样，没身份的比较惨。近期很难找新工作吧
周五(1月20日)，首席执行官桑达尔·皮采在一封电子邮件中告诉员工，裁员将影响全球和整个公司的工作，并写道，他“对导致我们走到这一步的决定负全部责任”。 这一消息公布后，Alphabet的股价在周五纽约盘前交易中上涨了3.6%。其在过去一年下跌了约30%。 谷歌此次加入了其他科技巨头的行列，这些巨头在全球经济低迷和通胀飙升的背景下大幅缩减业务。Meta平台、推特和亚马逊都在裁员。由于有弹性的搜索业务，谷歌一直是坚持不裁员的科技公司之一。但公司正在应对数字广告业务放缓的问题，其云计算部门继续落后于亚马逊和微软。 皮采在邮件中写道：“这些都是重要时刻，可以让我们更加专注，重新设计我们的成本基础，将我们的人才和资本引向我们最优先考虑的领域。” 他表示，公司在人工智能领域“面临着巨大的机会”，这是谷歌最近面临激烈竞争的一个关键投资领域。 皮查伊表示，Alphabet将在美国向受影响的员工支付至少16周的遣散费和6个月的健康福利，其他地区则根据当地法律和惯例领取福利。他说，奖金不会受到影响。 去年10月，谷歌公布的第三季度收益和营收均不及分析师预期。利润同比下降27%，至139亿美元。当时，皮查伊表示，谷歌将控制其开支，首席财务官露丝·波拉特表示，第四季度的新工作岗位数量将比前一季度减少一半以上。 谷歌裁员是因为投资者施加压力，要求其采取更积极的策略来抑制支出。去年11月，TCI基金管理公司在一封公开信中敦促这家互联网搜索巨头公开设定利润率目标，增加股票回购，并减少Alphabet“登月计划”部门Other Bets投资组合的亏损。 TCI董事总经理克里斯·霍恩(Chris Hohn)表示：“公司员工太多，每个员工的成本太高。”他指出，自2017年以来，Alphabet的员工人数每年增长20%。 最近几个月，谷歌采取了一系列削减成本的举措，取消了下一代Pixelbook笔记本电脑，并永久关闭了云游戏服务Stadia。今年1月初，Alphabet旗下的生物技术部门Verily表示，将裁员15%。 自2017年以来，谷歌的员工人数增加了一倍多，在最近一个季度达到186779人。其中很多人是为谷歌的云部门招聘的，其正试图在这个部门建立第二条销售线，以补充广告业务。 但据大多数人估计，上季度收入69亿美元的云业务仍在市场上排名第三。 近年来，谷歌还通过收购HTC和Fitbit为其新生的硬件部门增加了数千名员工。 根据人力资源咨询公司Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc.的数据，2022年裁员最多的是科技行业，全年裁员97171人，比前一年增长649%。
这是得多幼稚的人才想的出来的。。。
对比高盛发bonus之前裁人就是为了赖掉bonus，高下立现。
没有全部股票吧，全股票的话，刚进公司的赚翻了
裁下来的都是工资高的，表现差的，他们不可能再找到同等工作。
说了，股票会continue to vest
你是Apple map 托吧？
结了婚就能分钱？美国法律可没有这条
We’ll also offer a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google, and accelerate at least 16 weeks of GSU vesting. 我理解是多16个星期的vesting而已。如果半年前招进去的，第一年的股票加16个星期可能都不到。。。不过at least 不知道是啥意思，每个人还不一样？ 但应该不会是所有股票都vest。最多是到下一个vesting period吧
每个招进去的人都有4年的股票，第一年给全部股票的33%，不存在没有16个星期的问题
并不是。裁下来的大多数是刚进公司的。有一个哥们去年12月底入职，刚培训完还没干活呢，就被裁了，在地里bso能白领半年工资…..
the laid off employees will receive payment for the full notification period (minimum 60 days) as well as a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google. Further, the terminated staff will be entitled to 16 weeks of GSU vesting

应该是给16week的gsu。职位高的可能更多一些。所有的股票continue vesting是不可能的
@business
Today's Google cuts add to a tech wipeout that’s claimed over 100,000 jobs
真正高薪的没有被裁的
金融一裁员就直接裁MD， 人到中年职位还高， 真的就没法找下家了。 很多人40出头就被迫退休了。 还是高科技厚道， 不裁中年人高职位的。
三和九天渣会不会两人这次都金榜题名？
Full payment = 2month base + 2 month GSU 外加16week + tenurex2的severance 外加 16 week accelerated vest GSU (accelerated vesting= 不需要等着每月vest，一次都给你）
算下来就是6个月base，6个月GSU，外加年头x2的base
MD需要工作吗？
狗家的中年人基本都财富自由了吧，也没有身份问题，其实是最不怕裁的，年轻人没啥积蓄，很多裁了身份就成了问题，才是真麻烦。我知道有的老板特意裁老人，还跟他们说很抱歉，但是年轻人更需要帮助
😄😄拍手称快
哪里的工人阶级有前途？都是打工人，包大当然更好。
真心羡慕啊。前公司的分手费是1week for 1 year of service，low穿地心。举个例子，入职一年被裁，就1week分手费；但在狗家就至少六个月分手费。反正裁员大潮下谁都不能幸免，当然要赞分手费给的大方的公司。
那也总比平时996，毕业的时候不给package强啊。很多时候还不光明正大的裁，通过调岗等恶心的方式逼你自己辞职。
哪里的韭菜都是这样的。
说的没错。
