Google eliminates hundreds of jobs in ad team tweak

Google is laying off hundreds of employees in its advertising sales team and it is marking the latest cuts at the search giant, company said on Tuesday.

The move adds to signs that job cuts will continue this year, as companies look to adopt AI software and automation to lighten workloads.

Google said last week, it would lay off several employees in its Voice Assistant units, hardware teams responsible for Pixel, Nest and Fitbit, as well as in its augmented reality team.
