Title is excessively editorialized. Here is the ONLY thing said by anyone at Google about the subject, "Pichai revisited Google's plan to find efficiencies wherever it could, citing their plan for a 'simplicity sprint' and even discussing a possible reduction in headcount of up to 20 percent."

And even for that I can't find a source either. This article mentions making the company 20% more efficient, and it says that Pichai hinted at cuts, but doesn't give a direct quote there either.

They just increased their staff by 20% within the past year. To me it looks more like Pichai wants to be perceived by stock holdets like he's doing something.
