Google to lay off 10,000 employees based on performance: Report

Tech behemoth Google is planning to implement a performance improvement plan that will eventually lead to layoffs of 10,000 employees. According to a report from Hindustan Times sister publication LiveMint, employees who ‘score low’ will be asked to resign.

Google has asked its managers single out 6% of staff, or 10,000 employees, who according to then are poor performers. In an earlier notice, supervisors were directed to cut down the inflated scores.

Apart from using it to trim the workforce, tech giant’s managers could also employ the performance ratings to lower the perks like bonuses and stocks- offered to employees.
