Google has laid off several of its employees in the past few weeks. A new report by Free Press Journal revealed that the Sundar Pichai-led company has now fired its entire Python team for ‘cheap’ labour. As per the report, Google plans to hire cheaper labour outside the United States to reduce costs for the company.
Former team members expressed deep disappointment, with one calling it the "best job" in their 20-year career. Another remarked on the difficulty of seeing colleagues laid off while being asked to onboard replacements in different countries.
The company is said to be establishing a new team in Munich, Germany.
