Timetables and frequency for other employee perks, such as company shuttle services and in-office fitness classes, will be adjusted based on hybrid schedules. Google will also eliminate some of its vaunted snack bars and food offerings, and some cafeterias will be closed entirely on days with relatively few people in the office. The company will also cut back on some office equipment including staplers and desktop monitors, CNBC reported Monday citing internal company documents separate from Porat’s email. At the same time, the company will continue to invest in research areas it considers important to its future, including artificial intelligence.īut in changes that will be visible to employees, Google is continuing its aggressive rollback of services and in-office perks that until very recently were central to the tech giant’s appeal to prospective employees. Most other changes “won’t be visible to most Googlers,” as they largely involve tapping machines for some data processing work and improving the efficiency of servers and data centers. The biggest measure to save on expenses at Google will be through its workforce reduction plans announced in January affecting 12,000 employees, which are still ongoing in some countries, according to the memo. The memo’s contents were first reported by the Wall Street Journal, and a transcript was reported in full by Insider on Friday. Ruth Porat, who serves as CFO at Google as well as its parent company, Alphabet, told workers in an email Friday to expect more cuts to employee services and in-office perks, amid the company’s larger push to efficiency and optimizing operations.
