Google India has terminated more than 400 employees and some of the impacted workers took to LinkedIn to share their plight
The layoffs at Google India were part of the larger job cuts that impacted 12,000 workers globally at the company
The Hindu Business Line was first to report about the layoffs at Google India that happened on February 16
A Google India employee, who survived the layoffs, said it “is really difficult to see them (colleagues) go through this”
“It is even more difficult, as you don’t know how to talk to them, what to say,” the employee added
Employees, who survived the recent layoffs at Google, are worried and have demanded assurances that their jobs are not next to be axed by the company during a recent all-hands meeting with top bosses
Denying that the layoffs were done “randomly”, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai had said earlier that he is “deeply sorry” for reducing the workforce
In an email to employees, Pichai said he takes “full responsibility for the decisions that led us here”
