Pichai said at a meeting last week, during which he was discussing the layoffs, that he’d misjudged the lack of expansion that the firm would have as a result of the big hiring push that it had undertaken. According to Pichai, if Google had continued to grow as anticipated at the end of 2021, the recruitment nudge would have aligned the business to continue to prosper in its sector rather than being compelled to fall behind in many aspects, as reported. This would have been the case if the company had continued to grow.
Pichai’s pay has reportedly been bumped up as a result of his outstanding work as CEO in recent times. According to a document from the year 2020, Pichai made a yearly compensation of $2 million.
