Google has reportedly cut 10% of its manager, director, and VP roles in an effort to increase efficiency and reduce operational costs. Despite not reaching the levels of layoffs seen in the previous year, with hundreds losing their jobs, the company has been facing challenges from competitors and regulatory bodies. The recent changes announced by Google CEO Sundar Pichai aim to simplify the company’s organizational structure by transforming some managerial roles into non-managerial positions. These layoffs are part of Google’s broader strategy to enhance efficiency, with Pichai setting a goal to become 20% more efficient. However, Google continues to face threats, including competition in artificial intelligence and potential regulatory actions affecting its search market dominance.
