Updated Google’s latest round of layoffs have hit engineers working on its Flutter and Python teams.
Despite Alphabet last week reporting a 57 percent year-on-year jump in net profit to $23.66 billion for calendar Q1, more roles are being expunged as the mega-corp cracks down on costs.
The Python team is reportedly affected and an undisclosed number of Flutter and Dart engineers have been let go.
A Reddit account under the name of Kevin Moore, a Google Product Manager for Flutter and Dart, posted: "The layoffs were decided AT LEAST a couple of layers above our team and affected a LOT of teams. (I think I can say that.)
“Lots of good folks got bad news and lots of great projects lost people. Flutter and Dart were not affected any more or less [than] others. It was a tough day… tough week.”
Google’s way of telling the world not to use Flutter, I guess.
