Tech company Google has announced new plans for the company. Under these schemes, there will be retrenchment of employees in the company.

According to media reports, the company's Chief Financial Officer 'Ruth Porat' has sent an internal memo regarding the company's plans.

According to news agency Reuters, the company's Chief Financial Officer 'Ruth Porat' has written to the employees that the technology sector is changing rapidly with AI.

Being a big tech company, we also have the opportunity to create better products and services for our customers than ever before. In such a situation, we will have to make some difficult decisions like layoffs of employees.

It is further written in the memo that this is sad for the company and its talented employees. We know this change will be challenging.

The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, has already stated that there will be a large number of layoffs in 2024.

Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific will be impacted by Google's layoffs. This implies that many other nations, including India, will be impacted by Google's layoffs.

Bengaluru, Dublin, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Chicago will all have more centrally located offices for the company. By 2024, the company will have let go of 58,000 workers, if reports are to be believed.

Google has let go of 28 workers in a different case involving the company. These workers participated in protests against Google's contract with the Israeli government in their places of employment. After the suspension and arrest of nine employees in America, there has been an employee layoff.

According to the latest report, the 28 employees who have been fired from the company have protested against the $1.2 billion Google Cloud contract with the Israeli government.

The company has given information regarding this matter in an internal memo. The company said that this kind of behaviour has no place in our company.

Not only this, we will not ignore such behaviour of the employees.

The company said that after investigation, we have terminated the employment of 28 employees found involved in the protest. We will continue to investigate and take action as necessary.

The company has said that Google employees have the right to express their views by protesting peacefully. They can present their views to the company regarding the terms and conditions of labour of the company. The protesting group has called this move of Google a disgusting act.
