Google Employees Launch Petition to Save Their Jobs
Will the Petition Have an Impact?
The petition currently has 1,343 signatures, which is a small percentage of the company’s 2023 headcount of 182,000. The petitioners say that they are hopeful that they are actually being listened to.
“We understand that difficult decisions are sometimes necessary for the good of the business, but we believe that they can be made in a way that is more equitable for workers.” – Google employee petition
However, in October, the company’s CFO said on an earnings call that she intends to “always push a little further” when it comes to cost cutting. Anat Ashkenazi said that the company had “an aggressive roadmap ahead for 2025.” She added that the leadership team will need to continue to cut costs to “try and offset some of these” investments. It seems that Googlers might be right to be concerned.
