JAKARTA - Google, Alphabet's company, will terminate employment (PHK) for at least 100 employees of several teams in its cloud unit. This was first reported by CNBC on Monday, June 3.

Several positions in sales, operations, engineering, consultations, and "go to market" strategies constitute some of the affected positions, according to reports citing internal correspondence.

"We are continuing to develop our business to meet customer priorities and significant opportunities in the future," a Google spokesperson said.

"We maintain our commitment to invest in critical areas for our business and ensure our long-term success," he added.

The report comes after the California-based tech giant laid off a number of employees on various teams in April in a bid to control costs.

Google also laid off hundreds of employees in January, following a series of recent layoffs in the tech and media industry as companies face economic uncertainty.
