# Alphabet repo **Published by:** [RedinboStefania](https://paragraph.com/@etfeth/) **Published on:** 2022-07-15 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@etfeth/alphabet-repo ## Content Alphabet reported having a headcount of 163,906 employees as of the end of March, according to a regulatory filing, an increase of more than 20,000 staffers from the year prior. * The Google memo is the latest indication that the once high-flying tech sector is facing a new reality check after having only recently enjoyed a surge in demand from shifting consumer behavior during the pandemic. Spiking inflation levels, rising interest rates and fears of a looming recession have led a slew of tech companies to recently announce that they are slowing hiring or cutting staff. * A growing number of tech companies have announced layoffs, including Netflix and Coinbase. GoPuff, an ultra-fast delivery startup, recently notified investors that it plans to cut 10% of its global workforce and close dozens of its US warehouses. Microsoft also confirmed earlier this week that it was cutting a small number of jobs, though it plans to continue hiring. ## Publication Information - [RedinboStefania](https://paragraph.com/@etfeth/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@etfeth/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@etfeth): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/RedinboStefania): Follow on Twitter
