Google is implementing a "multi-year" cost-cutting plan that includes reducing employee services and equipment like laptops and staplers, according to an email from the company's CFO. Non-engineering employees will now be issued Google-made Chromebooks by default instead of a range of offerings including Apple MacBooks. The company is also cutting back on fitness classes, frequency of replacement laptops, and office supplies like staplers and tape. These measures come after January layoffs that saw the company cut 12,000 jobs.
