US EditionGoogle has eliminated 35% of managers overseeing small teams in past year, exec says
Google reduced managers of very small teams by 35% to cut bureaucracy and improve efficiency amid hiring slowdowns and workforce cost management.
- Google executives announced last week that the company eliminated 35% of managers who oversee fewer than three people to improve efficiency, a point reiterated by Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai.
- Executives argued the moves aim to reduce bureaucracy and run the company more efficiently, with Alphabet finance chief Anat Ashkenazi signaling she would push cost cuts "a little further" last year.
- Google offered buyouts since January and slowed hiring, with 3% to 5% of employees on affected teams accepting them, often for time off, Fiona Cicconi said last week.
- Despite strong earnings and stock gains, CNBC reported that layoffs hurt Alphabet employees' morale even as investors and Alphabet shareholders have seen shares rise 10% this year.
- Leadership says it will reduce the leadership share of the workforce as Alphabet leadership and HR executives aim to scale without solving every problem by adding headcount.
