Among 2,500 cached profiles observed, Google recorded 4 departures and no new hires over 90 days — a net -4 movement within this subset. The exits included senior individual contributors (Lead Software Engineer, Principal Architect) and a Director-level Chief of Staff to Google Cloud EMEA's President, signaling potential leadership churn in Cloud operations. Two promotions elevated engineers into management and applied AI roles, while engineering remains the dominant function (431 observed profiles). Three profiles now signal open-to-work status, consistent with modest outflow in a subset representing less than 1% of Google's reported workforce.
