(Boursier.com) — Google (Alphabet) is eliminating hundreds of additional positions working in particular on its digital assistant, in hardware or engineering, indicates Bloomberg. The group is therefore continuing its cost reduction initiatives, with affected employees working in particular on Google Assistant or within the hardware team dedicated to augmented reality. Employees of the central engineering organization would also be hit. “Throughout the second half of 2023, some of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, and to align their resources with their highest product priorities,” Google said. “Some teams continue to make these types of organizational changes, which include some role reductions on a global scale,” adds a spokesperson for the group cited by Bloomberg.
Recall that about a year ago, parent company Alphabet announced its intention to cut around 12,000 jobs, or more than 6% of its workforce. Since then, the group has continued its slimming treatment.
