It seems that Google's CEO Sundar Pichai is not happy with the performance of many employees. The executive held a meeting and warned its employees to work efficiently and focus more on how to better improve their products and help customers. Pichai believes that productivity is missing and it is not where it should be considering the number of people Google has. This basically suggests that the CEO feels that Google has too many employees, but not a lot of them work efficiently and are focused.

A report from CNBC claims that Pichai has asked employees to "create a culture that is more mission-focused, more focused on our products, more customer focused. We should think about how we can minimize distractions and really raise the bar on both product excellence and productivity."
