Investing.com – Alphabet (NASDAQ:) is set to lay off at least 100 employees from Google’s (NASDAQ:) fast-growing cloud unit, CNBC reported on Tuesday.
Citing internal communications and people familiar with the situation, the business news channel reported that the tech giant informed employees of the layoffs last week. Those affected include consulting, sales, operations, engineering and go-to-market strategy, CNBC added.
A Google spokesperson told CNBC that the cuts will be gradual across teams to help the business grow and meet “significant opportunities in the future.”
The decision comes after Google announced in April that it would lay off at least 200 people from its core division. According to a blog on the company’s website, this segment oversees the technical core of Google’s flagship products.
The company also laid off hundreds of workers in January as part of a series of job cuts across the technology industry driven in part by ongoing economic uncertainty.
