Google will promote fewer employees to top jobs after layoffs

Numerous well-known tech companies have announced layoffs since the beginning of the year for a variety of reasons, including business plan changes, company reorganization, and economic downturns. Employees of all ranks, from entry-level laborers to senior executives, were affected by these job cutbacks. Google just laid off 12,000 workers and is currently restructuring and promoting. According to media sources, Google recently introduced a new performance assessment system called Google Reviews and Development (GRAD), which has led to an increase in the number of employees at the business being given bad performance ratings.

According to a story by The Week that cited CNBC, Google recently revealed in an email that it will be promoting fewer people to senior posts in an effort to minimize expenses amid worries of a possible recession. According to the firm, this is done to make sure that the rise of Google employees in leadership roles keeps pace with the company’s overall expansion. “We are planning for fewer promotions into L6 and above than when Google was developing aggressively,” the email said. L6 is the first senior employee tier, which is normally made up of individuals with about ten years of experience. The decision made by the corporation will mostly affect managers at the intermediate level. Henry Kirk, a manager at Google for over ten years, was among the 12,000 workers let go.
