    Description:
    Googles People Operations workers are at risk as the company looks to shed
    some of its more expensive employees.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================
    - Google reportedly offering voluntary redundancies for HR workers
    - Level four and five workers are being targeted
    - More efficiencies may be incoming, with cloud workers apparently at risk

    Google is reportedly preparing to lay off workers from its People Operations and cloud businesses, as cut backs continue to hit tech giants across the world.

    A report from CNBC claims the redundancies will take the form of voluntary resignations, which could be offered to US-based, full-time workers,
    beginning in early March 2025.

    The upcoming changes have reportedly been confirmed via an internal memo
    shared by Chief People Officer Fiona Cicconi, and they also stack up with CFO Anat Ashkenazis plans to continue cutting costs.

    Google continues to cut jobs

    Google looks to be targeting its higher earnings from levels four and five, offering them up to 14 weeks severance pay plus an additional week for every years service. Further details of redundancy packages have not been
    disclosed.

    A company spokesperson added: Our teams have continued to make changes to operate more efficiently, remove layers, and ensure they are set up for long term success.

    The news comes barely one month after Google announced it would be offering a similar voluntary exit program for workers in its Platforms & Devices group, affecting Pixel workers, Android employees and more.

    Although the company has been working to make certain areas more efficient,
    CFO Anat Ashkenazi explained its not all bad news for Googles workforce: Second, we expect some headcount growth in 2025 in key investment areas, such as AI and Cloud.

    She reiterated her previous quarter comments about ongoing job cuts in
    certain areas, though: And as I mentioned on the Q3 call, were doing that
    while also focusing on driving further efficiencies in how we operate the business.

    Still, these redundancies are just minor changes when compared with the companys pandemic-induced layoffs in January 2023, when 12,000 Goolgers were sent packing.

    Google confirmed with us: "To support our People Operations teams innovative work ahead, were opening new roles and offering a voluntary exit program with severance for their US-based employees."
