It was a re-org with some groups inside GCP. Press reported around 50 folks impacted but it was a little bit more. Most got to transfer roles within Google while some took severance packages. Hardly anything to worry about. The only concern for this year is there were obvious signs of cost cutting due to COVID within Perf and 2021 head counts are looking much lower.

Can you share link to press coverage? Can't find anything. Thanks.

Product Manager or Program Manager?

Program Manager

Much more stable compared to before (aviation then consulting)

There were also PgM and Product manager/BSA lay offs last week in Cloud, not sure if the same group?
