Nearly 100 Google employees gathered at the company's Mountain View, California headquarters on Wednesday to deliver a petition signed by about 4,500 workers to CEO Sundar Pichai. The workers, represented by the Alphabet Workers Union, presented three main demands: guaranteed severance for laid-off employees, an end to performance quotas under the company's GRAD system, and the option for workers to take severance as paid leave instead of a lump sum. The protest comes as technology companies, including Google, continue to cut jobs, partly due to increased use of artificial intelligence. At the same time, Google's parent company Alphabet has seen its value rise above $4 trillion. The union said the demands are meant to protect workers from sudden layoffs and unfair performance evaluations. Google has not yet publicly responded to the petition. The rally was one of the largest worker actions at the company in recent months. Employees say they want more transparency and fairness in how layoffs and performance reviews are handled. The petition shows growing worker organizing in the tech industry, where job cuts have affected thousands of workers in the past year.
