Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is reportedly telling its workers that it will further respond to a growth slowdown by trimming the number of senior promotions is gives out this year.
Parent Alphabet joined other tech giants in moving to cut more than 10,000 jobs, with a decision to implement its biggest round of layoffs ever, shedding 6% of staff or about 12,000 jobs.

In addition, though, it will match a slower pace of hiring with fewer promotions, according to a memo about its internal process seen by Insider.
"The process is manager-led and will be largely similar to last year â though with our slower pace of hiring, we are planning for fewer promotions into [level 6] and above than when Google was growing quickly," the memo about Googler Reviews and Development reads, the report said.
The GRAD program replaced a previous performance system and unlike the old program happens only once a year, though the new email says there will be a second promotion process in September.
