Google might fire 6 percent poorly performing employees in 2023: Report

A meeting was held at Google last week wherein discussions regarding the performance of the employees were conducted. People who know about this reported to CNBC that 6 percent of the employees fall under the poorly performing category that “puts them at risk for corrective action.” This suggests that the company is planning layoffs.

The Information has claimed in their recent report that Google is planning to deduct 6 percent of the headcount, which is around 10,000 employees, on the basis of their performance. The company is to analyse the performance via a new system. The mentioned source said that employees must have “achieved the near-impossible” and contributed “more than we (Google) thought possible” in order to be in the highest categories.
