In a major development, Google has cut its number of top management roles by 10% in its yearslong push for efficiency. CEO Sundar Pichai discussed the changes during an all-hands meeting, emphasising the need for efficiency as the company faces growing competition in artificial intelligence from rivals like OpenAI.
Google CEO stated that the efficiency push included a 10% reduction in managers, directors, and vice presidents, according to Business Insider report.
According to the report, a Google spokesperson said some of those roles were changed to nonmanagerial positions while others were eliminated entirely.
This follows a larger restructuring last year that resulted in over 12,000 employees being let go. The layoffs are part of a broader strategy Pichai introduced in 2022, aiming to make Google 20% more efficient.
During the meeting, Pichai also redefined the company’s cultural principle of “Googleyness.” Once a broad term encompassing qualities that made someone a good fit for Google, it now focuses on core values such as mission-driven work, innovation, and teamwork. Pichai urged employees to stay aligned with Google’s mission, prioritise bold innovation, and maintain a collaborative, resourceful attitude.
This restructuring reflects a wider trend in the tech industry, where companies are cutting middle management roles to adapt to an AI-driven future.
Amazon has also recently taken similar steps to streamline its workforce and empower individual contributors.
