Google cuts about 200 jobs in global business unit amid restructuring

As part of the ongoing restructuring in the technology industry, Alphabet’s Google has reportedly laid off around 200 staff from its global business organisation, which handles sales and partnerships, reported The Information.

Google, like other major tech firms, has been shifting its focus toward data centre infrastructure and AI development, reducing investments in less critical areas. In a statement to Reuters, the company said the recent job cuts were part of minor organisational adjustments aimed at boosting teamwork and improving the speed and effectiveness of customer service.
