Cutting costs at Google: No M&Ms and no dried mangoes in the office

If you're an employee who likes to get treats in the form of snacks from the company, I hope you're not working for Google! Employees of the technological giant said that the company made cost cuts and stopped offering small snacks, as reported by an employee from San Francisco, in the United States.

“They took away the dried mango”, in an indignant tone. In addition to dried fruit, other snacks disappeared from the office. The report is from the Google project manager, when informing the portal The Atlantic about the last thing that happened inside the company. The dried mangoes are gone along with the M&Ms, muffins, and potato crackers.

If even Google is in this situation, we don't want to imagine how other companies are doing! Mass layoffs and various cost-cutting are happening in the technology sector: some employees are starving, while others are being laid off.

Google cuts office costs

By the way, this was not the only cost reduced by Google, as informed by Insider. The year 2023 started with the company laying off 12,000 employees. Finance director Ruth Porat warned that further cost cuts were underway. Yes, it is a luxurious office, with massage therapists and other pampering that a team could be.

But massage therapy was also affected along with fitness classes, as well as limiting the number of times employees can switch laptops. Still in 2022, Porat reported that they were undergoing a cost restructuring to offer quality in the financial sector in the long term.

Last year, for example, it was part of the company's plans to limit extra travel by employees. Although Google did not respond to the Insider, the company ensures that they offer benefits and greater advantage to their office leaders. It might be, but without the M&Ms it's difficult!
