From the Desk of Attorney Omar Zambrano: Helping 10,000 Families Become Debt-Free in 2025

Today is Monday, March 17, 2025, and we're witnessing a workforce shift unlike anything we've seen since the pandemic recovery began.

Google has launched the most aggressive phase of its AI restructuring strategy—eliminating entire layers of human labor in a move that insiders say will impact up to 30,000 workers over time. While the number of employees officially terminated remains in the thousands for now, the writing is on the wall: AI is replacing people—and it’s happening fast.

These layoffs aren’t just about cost-cutting—they're part of a complete transformation of the post-pandemic American workforce. And for families who built their futures on jobs like these? The impact is devastating.

I’ve spent the last two decades helping people recover from economic crashes, job loss, and wage garnishments and just like 2008, the people who act now—the people who get proactive—will be the ones who survive this reset.


Inside the Google Layoffs: What’s Confirmed and What’s Next

Google has begun rolling out job cuts across multiple divisions, with the following key moves:

? Targeted Layoffs in HR and Cloud Units

  • Hundreds of positions have already been cut in People Operations (HR) and Cloud Infrastructure roles.
  • Internal restructuring has begun, with some teams dissolved or relocated.

? 25,000+ Offered Voluntary Buyouts

  • In early 2025, Google offered voluntary severance packages to over 25,000 employees in its Platforms and Devices division—which includes teams behind Android, Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit.
  • Many employees refused the buyout, hoping for stability. Instead, layoffs followed.

? The Unspoken Number: 30,000 at Risk

  • While 30,000 cuts haven’t been formally announced, internal reports show this number reflects the size of Google’s ad sales and customer support workforce, now at risk of automation through new AI tools.
  • Google has not denied this figure—only stated that AI will lead to "efficiency."

James, a former mid-level HR manager at Google, told me: “They used to need teams of people to process job applicants. Now it’s all AI filters, AI scoring, and instant rejection emails.”

This is not trimming fat. This is remapping the company around machines.


Why Google Is Doing This: AI Over People

Make no mistake—this is not a recession-driven layoff. Google remains one of the most profitable companies on Earth. What’s changed is their strategy.

?? AI-First Strategy

Google’s new AI platforms are reshaping:

  • Ad sales (automated keyword generation, audience targeting)
  • Customer service (chatbots and help desk AI)
  • Internal operations (automated recruitment, onboarding, and expense tracking)

?? Scrapped Expansion Plans

  • Google canceled a $15 billion office development in Mountain View
  • Paid $600 million to break real estate leases
  • Shut down projects in favor of lean, remote, AI-driven teams

A senior engineer put it this way: “They're planning for a future where Google is half the people, twice the profit.”

The Broader Tech Collapse: This Isn’t Just Google

Google’s move is part of the larger 2025 Layoff Pandemic—a term I now use to describe the cascading job losses across the entire tech industry.

?? Industry-Wide Layoffs Since 2022:

  • Amazon: 27,000 corporate and tech layoffs
  • Meta: 21,000 jobs cut during its “Year of Efficiency”
  • Microsoft: 10,000 layoffs in early 2023
  • Wayfair, Salesforce, Autodesk: Thousands more

Across the tech sector, over 400,000 jobs have been eliminated since 2022 and more are coming.


The Economic Ripple Effects: Post-Pandemic Gains Wiped Out

The timing of these layoffs couldn’t be worse.

?? Mortgage rates are locked around 7%, killing home affordability

?? Inflation is still dragging wages behind—food is up 15% year-over-year

?? 172,000 layoffs were recorded in February 2025 alone

?? Credit card interest averages over 23% APR

Maria, a recently laid-off Pixel team member, told me: “We were upper middle class. Now I’m maxing out credit cards to pay rent.”

The Human Cost: People Aren’t Just Numbers

When a company like Google starts cutting $200K-a-year jobs, the effect isn't just personal—it's regional.

?? Home purchases stall

?? Car loans go unpaid

?? Credit card balances balloon

?? Collection calls increase

?? Wages get garnished

Even those who took the buyouts are struggling.

“The severance ran out in three months. I burned through savings. Now I’m behind on my car and scared they’ll take it,” said Tom, a former Cloud Solutions Manager.

This is the financial cliff most people don’t see coming—until it’s too late.

  • Transfer high-APR card balances to 0% intro offers
  • Save thousands in interest over time

? Bankruptcy Isn’t a Failure—It’s a Reset
