This is the best summary I could come up with:
After laying off about 1,000 employees last week, Google is now cutting jobs on its advertising sales team.
In a statement to The Verge, Google spokesperson Chris Pappas confirmed that “a few hundred roles globally are being eliminated” as part of the change.
Google laid off some employees on its LCS team last October, according to a separate report from Business Insider.
“Every year we go through a rigorous process to structure our team to provide the best service to our Ads customers,” Pappas tells The Verge.
“We map customers to the right specialist teams and sales channels to meet their service needs.
That tracks with a report from my colleague Alex Heath, who wrote in The Verge’s Command Line newsletter that last week’s layoffs wouldn’t be the end, adding that “the roughly 30,000-person ad sales group is another natural target.” Google has already made sweeping cuts across several parts of its company, affecting the employees working on Pixel, Fitbit, and Nest products as well as those on its engineering and Google Assistant teams.
