How Google Will Reduce Its Workforce At the beginning of September, Pichai បានចាប់ផ្តើមរួចហើយ to prepare minds for possible layoffs to come.
“The more we try to understand the macroeconomy, we feel very uncertain about it,” Pichai said at the 2022 annual Code Conference in Los Angeles on Sept.6. “The macroeconomic performance is correlated to ad spend, consumer spend and so on.”
He then added that he wanted to “make the company 20% more productive.”
It is therefore unsurprising that one of the questions asked by the employees in the all-hand meeting was to know how he intended to achieve this goal.
“I think you could be a 20-person team or a 100-person team, we are going to be constrained in our growth in a looking-ahead basis,” Pichai responded. “Maybe you were planning on hiring six more people but maybe you are going to have to do with four and how are you going to make that happen? The answers are going to be different with different teams.”
He continued: “Sometimes we have a product launch process, which has probably, over many years, grown more complicated than maybe it needs to be,” Pichai elaborated. “Can we look at that process and maybe remove two steps and that’ll be an example of making something 20% more efficient? I think all of us chipping in and doing that across all levels, I think can help the company. At our scale, there is no way we can solve that unless units of teams of all sizes do better.”
Pichai assured that Alphabet would continue to invest in projects such as quantum computing but at the same time it had to adapt to the new reality.
In times of uncertainty, as at present, the company must be “smart”, “frugal”, “scrappy” and “more efficient,” the CEO added.
