Layoff very much due to investors' push. GOOGL, the stock, has been lagging the other big tech companies by a wide margin in the past year or so.

Big picture though, you have to start wondering if WFH trends have largely exposed "unproductive" jobs in these big corporations. It was very hard to identify them in the past but now it's become so evident. You don't really need these gap-filling-there-for-the-optics people. Companies are going to be run that much more efficient.
