Google jobs effected as parent company, Alphabet, announces plans to axe 12,000 jobs, or 6%, of their workforce.
In an email to employees, the company's chief executive, Sundar Pichai, says he takes full responsibility for the decisions that led to the situation.
He says over the past two years the company hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today.
The roles being eliminated result from a rigorous review of the company.
