We’re not even two weeks into 2024, and Google has initiated a wave of layoffs across multiple teams throughout the company. In addition to cuts to the hardware division reported on Wednesday, further position removals have reportedly impacted other teams, including core engineering and Assistant.
On Wednesday, 9to5Google reported that Google had announced layoffs within the hardware division that coincided with a restructuring of that organization. It also came to light that Fitbit’s cofounders, James Park and Eric Friedman, were also leaving Google.
Later that evening, Semafor shared that Google had confirmed “hundreds” of layoffs on the Google Assistant team as well as the knowledge and information product teams.
