Alphabet’s Google has reportedly implemented mass layoffs within its cloud division.
According to a Bloomberg report, the job cuts affected fewer than a 100 employees from sales operations.
While the move hasn’t been publically announced, news reports from a month ago spoke of Google distributing a memo to all its US employees working on Android, Pixel Hardware and other projects, offering a “voluntary exit programme.”
It guaranteed severances for anyone ready to voluntarily resign.
The layoffs come after slower growth was reported in Google’s cloud department. The company recently upped its spending on AI, according to certain media reports.
Alphabet’s earnings also exposed vulnerabilities. Google Cloud’s $11.96 billion revenue—up 30% but below forecasts—reflects stiff competition from AWS and Azure. For B2B firms, this hints at a fragmented cloud market where multi-platform strategies may gain traction. Meanwhile, Alphabet’s plan to spend $75 billion on AI infrastructure in 2025 signals intensified R&D but raises questions about cost pass-throughs to advertisers.
