OK Google ?? Nah! "Bye Bye Human"...

Google is implementing a new round of layoffs, primarily affecting its cloud division and human resources department. The tech giant is offering voluntary buyouts to U.S.-based employees in its 'People Operations' division, with potential severance packages of 14 weeks' salary plus additional compensation based on tenure. The cloud unit is also facing job cuts, with some roles being relocated to India and Mexico City. These reductions come as Google intensifies its focus on artificial intelligence, with CFO Anat Ashkenazi highlighting cost-cutting as a priority while expanding AI infrastructure spending in 2025. The move follows similar restructuring efforts in other departments earlier this year.
