Google and parent company Alphabet aren’t immune to COVID-19-related business challenges. According to an email from CEO Sundar Pichai sent to employees on Wednesday, the tech giant will “significantly slow down the pace of hiring” for the rest of the year and reduce spending on data centers, machines, and non-essential marketing and travel.

“We are reevaluating the pace of our investment plans for the remainder of 2020,” Pichai told employees in a memo first reported by Bloomberg. “That starts with taking a more critical look at the pace of hiring for the rest of the year. For context, we hired 20,000 Googlers in 2019, and had been targeting a similar number for 2020.”

Pichai didn’t specify any hiring numbers, but he said that the company will maintain “momentum in a small number of strategic areas.”

A Google spokesperson declined to provide any specifics, but said, “we’ll be slowing down the pace of hiring, while maintaining momentum in a small number of strategic areas, and onboarding the many people who’ve been hired but haven’t started yet.”

Google will also “be recalibrating the focus and pace of our investments in areas like data centers and machines, and non-business-essential marketing and travel,” Pichai wrote.

Tech Giants Aren’t Immune

In late February, just weeks before much of the world went on lock down to try to slow the spread of COVID-19, Pichai said Google would invest more than $10 billion this year into offices and data centers in the U.S. He added that this investment would create “thousands of jobs — including roles within Google, construction jobs in data centers and renewable energy facilities, and opportunities in local businesses in surrounding towns and communities.”

This followed Google’s $13 billion investment in data centers and facilities in 2019.

Google isn’t the only tech giant struggling during the pandemic. Earlier this month Microsoft froze hiring except for strategic positions within the company. In an open letter to employees, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella detailed how the company is helping to fight the spread and treat those infected with COVID-19, including the provision of “critical infrastructure” to health care workers and medical researchers.

Meanwhile others like Cisco and Palo Alto Networks have pledged not to cut jobs in response to COVID-19.

Google Commits Millions to COVID-19 Response

Despite slowing its hiring and data center spending, Google has committed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to help communities and businesses worldwide affected by the pandemic. This includes $800 million in grants, loans, and ad credits to help small businesses, health care workers, and governments.

It also allocated $20 million in Google Cloud research credits for academic institutions and researchers using Google cloud computing and infrastructure to study potential therapies and vaccines, track data, and identify ways to combat COVID-19. Additionally, Google is working with one of its suppliers to ramp up production of 2 million to 3 million face masks for the CDC Foundation, and Google.org committed $50 million (plus an additional $2,500 in gift-matching per Google employee) to help communities.
