Last week, we reported that Google has laid off 1000 employees from various departments, including the founder of FitBit. Recently, it was reported that Google has fired several hundred more employees, now from the advertising division (Google Ads) as well.
An official statement from Google says that the restructuring of the Ads department is not something new, and it is something that is done every year to ensure that their department operates at an optimal rate.
When asked, they did not confirm how many workers were laid off, but what is certain is that the number of layoffs is happening globally and means that at least several hundred workers will be affected.
However, those affected by this decision will still be given the opportunity to find work in other parts of Google, and the company will assist in finding new jobs.
This may not be something so surprising especially when it is seen that Google is now changing their focus to the development of artificial intelligence technology through Bard and several other projects.
