The move follows the amalgamation of hardware and software divisions and aims to support workers who may no longer fit their roles or disagree with the return to office policy. Concerns arise about possible layoffs if too many opt to stay. The revenue for Q3 2024 from subscriptions, platforms, and devices reached $10.7 billion. Job security has been shaky since Google’s cost-cutting measures, with multiple layoffs in recent years. Stay tuned for updates on the company’s financial performance.
