MOUNTAIN VIEW — Google has sketched out plans for a fresh bout of Bay Area job cuts by detailing its intention to chop more than 700 jobs in the South Bay as the tech industry launches 2024 in grim fashion.
Besides Google, other tech companies are planning Bay Area layoffs: Block and Unity Technology have decided to slash scores of jobs in San Francisco.
Google has decided to trim a total of 703 jobs in the Bay Area, affecting workers in Mountain View and Sunnyvale, according to official WARN notices sent to the state Employment Development Department.
Here are the sites where Google is cutting positions:
— 437 jobs in Mountain View.
— 266 positions in Sunnyvale.
Unity Technology said it has decided to cut 120 jobs in San Francisco.
Separately, Block, whose best-known products are the familiar Square point-of-sale terminals, intends to cut 51 positions in San Francisco.
Google’s job cuts, depending on the location, would begin in March and continue into October of this year, the search giant said.
“Separations resulting from this action are expected to be permanent,” Lindsey MacLean, vice president Googler Experience, wrote in the WARN notice to the EDD.
In 2023, Google revealed plans to chop 1,683 Bay Area jobs, affecting workers in Mountain View, Moffett Field, San Bruno, Palo Alto and San Francisco.
That means Google has revealed plans in 2023 and 2024 to cut about 2,386 positions in the nine-county region, including the latest disclosures.
