Google Cuts R&D Projects At Area 120 In Half, Layoffs Imminent

Google has reportedly informed staff that it will cut half of its projects at Area 120 and employees working on affected projects will need to find new jobs by early next year. Area 120 is the Mountain View, California-based tech giant’s in-house research and development (R&D) division.

Google reportedly informed its staff Tuesday about a “reduction in force” that will cut the division’s projects from the original 14 to 7 projects, according to a new report by TechCrunch. The report further revealed that employees involved in projects that will be canceled were informed that they should look for new jobs by the end of January 2023. If these employees fail to find new jobs by then, they will be terminated, the report revealed.
