Google has laid off 10 per cent of its managerial staff as part of a long-running campaign to increase efficiency by double that number. Multiple news reports said CEO Sundar Pichai, in an all-hands meeting Wednesday, indicated the cuts will come at the manager, director, and vice president roles.
A Google spokesperson told the Business Insider that some employees whose positions had been cut would be "transitioned to individual contributor roles", while some others were "role eliminations".
