Google’s finance chief Ruth Porat recently said in a rare companywide email that the company is making cuts to employee services.
“These are big, multi-year efforts,” Porat said in a Friday email titled: “Our company-wide OKR on durable savings.” Elements of the email were previously reported by The Wall Street Journal.
In separate documents viewed by CNBC, Google said it’s cutting back on fitness classes, staplers, tape and the frequency of laptop replacements for employees.

The latest cost-cutting measures come as Alphabet
-owned Google continues its most severe era of cost cuts in its almost two decades as a public company. The company said in January that it was eliminating 12,000 jobs, representing about 6% of its workforce, to reckon with slowing sales growth following record head count growth.
Cuts have shown up in other ways. The company declined to pay the remainder of laid-off employees’ maternity and medical leaves, CNBC previously reported.

I'm not sure anyone at these big tech companies actually does any work.

Staplers and tape?
If that is your big cost cutting program you might as well admit it and file bankruptcy.

Of course you are right... wouldn't be much savings. They are becoming like every other large company without ridiculously, excessive frills.
But the same announcement stated that the (thousands) of micro-kitchens would be overhauled and/or closed. So much for avocado on toast.

This seems like a bold move in CA, the land of grand protections.

This is the company colluding with the government to take away your rights and push us into the NWO/QUASI CAPITO-CORPORATE-MARXIST world.
Ironic

You could save in fitness classes, staplers and tape if you allowed the WFH. Just sayin.

How many staplers does a digital company have?
