Google executives held a town hall meeting with staffers on Monday after the company announced its largest layoff in history.
“Our engineering hiring is being much more targeted in areas where we need to fill out a product portfolio,” Kurian said. “We are adding sales and customer engineers in very specific countries and industries."
Like with other all-hands meetings, Google executives took questions from the company's internal forum called Dory. Employees can post questions there, and they bubble up to the top when their co-workers give them an upvote. Rick Osterloh, senior vice president of devices and services, said the company "deliberately didn’t share out of respect for people’s privacy.”
“When you think about our users and how critical they’ve become in people’s lives — all the products and services, the sensitive data they’ve trusted us with — even though it might have been a very low likelihood, we had to plan for the possibility that something could go terribly wrong," Hansen said. "The best option was to close corporate access the way you described," he said, referring to the abrupt shutdown.
