What Google CEO Sundar Pichai termed “very very difficult decision” about job cuts at the company's all-hands meeting

Google's CEO Sundar Pichai defended the decision to cut 6% of the company's workforce at a recent all-hands meeting. The layoffs had a clear impact on employee morale, as reflected in the comments from the internal survey, Googlegeist. Pichai acknowledged that informing all affected employees simultaneously, regardless of time zone, and cutting off their immediate access were not good decisions. He described the layoffs as one of the most difficult decisions in the company's 25-year history, but necessary to create capacity for investment in other areas.
