I don't understand how the article states this and concludes Google is cutting staff:

>A Google spokesman said almost 95% of employees who expressed interest in staying with the company found new roles within the notice period. Alphabet had 174,014 employees at the end of the second quarter, up 20.8% from the previous year.




I bet the people who approved the hiring 35,000 in one year will not be in the pool of those being let go


I am pointing out the disconnect of the sensationalized title "Google are cutting staff" from the actual article content. The article states ~100 Google employees are being given couple months to find a new role within Google, and they cite that historically, 95% of employees find new roles within the company when this kind of thing happens.
