On Friday, Google joined the ranks of other industry giants by announcing that it will be laying off around 12,000.
CEO Sundar Pichai emailed all of Google’s staff to let them know that the business has already alerted affected employees in the United States.
Pichai added that the process of laying off employees would take longer in other nations due to their own legal systems.
