Google extended a 300% salary hike to an employee set to depart for Perplexity AI, revealed CEO Aravind Srinivas on the Big Technology Podcast. The employee, part of Google's 'search team,' had no direct involvement with the AI division. This development follows Google CEO Sundar Pichai's internal memo warning of more job cuts, citing the necessity for "tough choices" to make room for strategic investments. Google has reportedly laid off over a thousand employees since January 10, aiming to cut approximately 12,000 jobs globally, 6% of its workforce.
