Google has initiated buyouts for staff across multiple divisions, including search, advertising, research, and engineering, as part of ongoing cost-cutting measures. This follows earlier layoffs of 12,000 employees in 2023 due to the decline in demand for online services post-COVID-19 pandemic. A spokesperson indicated that the program aims to support the company's future objectives. Additionally, some teams are encouraging remote employees to adopt a hybrid work model to facilitate increased in-person collaboration among staff.
Earlier this year, some of our teams introduced a voluntary exit program with severance for U.S.-based Googlers, and several more are now offering the program to support our important work ahead.
A number of teams are also asking remote employees who live near an office to return to a hybrid work schedule in order to bring folks more together in-person.
