Alphabet's X division shedding dozens of jobs: report
Google parent Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) (GOOG) is eliminating dozens of jobs from its X technology lab and seeking more outside funding, according to a Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the matter. The staff reduction comes on the heels of several rounds of layoffs at the company. Astro Teller, who leads the division, told Bloomberg the division was looking to collaborate with "a broader base of industry and financial partners" as it looks to spin out more projects with market-based funding.
