Google Continues Layoffs with Hundreds Cut from Advertising Sales Team

Restructuring Aims to Better Serve Small and Medium Businesses

Google is laying off hundreds of employees from its advertising sales team as part of a restructuring effort to better serve small and medium businesses.
The layoffs primarily affect the Large Customer Sales (LCS) unit, which serves large businesses, while the Google Customer Solutions (GCS) team, serving smaller clients, will become the core ad sales team.
Impacted employees will be able to apply for open roles within the company.
This follows a series of layoffs at Google, with over 1,000 employees cut across several departments last week.
Last year, Google laid off 12,000 workers, or 6% of its workforce, due to anticipated economic downturn.
