In an email to employees Friday, Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai said the company saw dramatic growth over the past two years and hired new employees \u201cfor a different economic reality than the one we face today.\u201d He said he takes full responsibility for the decisions that led to where the company is today.<\/p>\n
In his email, Pichai said the layoffs come following \u201ca rigorous review across product areas and functions\u201d to ensure the company\u2019s employees and their roles are aligned with Google\u2019s top priorities. \u201cThe roles we\u2019re eliminating reflect the outcome of that review,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In the email, Pichai said U.S. employees to be laid off already have been notified, while it is going to take longer for employees in other countries because of different laws and regulations.<\/p>\n
