Mr. Sundar Pichai stated, “We’re very, very focused on this set of opportunities we have, and I think there’s a lot of work left,” referring to Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Bard, new Workspace capabilities in Gmail and Google Docs, as well as other projects.

In response to a question about how the company planned to increase efficiency by 20%, Mr Sundar Pichai stated that the company is “literally looking at every aspect of what we do” in an effort to permanently re-engineer its cost base. He emphasised that, while progress has been made, more work remains to be done.

We are attempting to do that in a variety of ways. As we stated on our most recent earnings call, we are literally examining every aspect of what we do in order to re-engineer our cost base in a durable way. We are undoubtedly concentrating on generating long-term savings. Although we are happy with the progress, there is still work to be done, he added.

Google announced in January that it would be laying off 12,000 employees. Although the layoffs had been rumoured for months, the news came as a surprise to some employees.

Cuts were made after careful consideration, according to Mr. Sundar Pichai. “We’ve made the decision to cut 12,000 roles from our workforce. To those affected employees in the US, we have already sent a separate email. Due to regional laws and customs, this process will take longer in other nations, Mr. Sundar Pichai said in a statement at the time.

In February, it was also revealed that the business had terminated about 450 employees in India’s various departments. However, it is unclear if the 12,000 job cuts announced by Alphabet Inc. are included in the layoffs.
