Google has given US platforms and devices the possibility of leaving voluntarily before starting to cut jobs. The news has been reported for the first time by 9TO5GOOGLE. The Google platform and devices team has 25,000 employees and was trained when the company merged its Android and equipment teams last year. It is in charge of a bunch of Google products, including Android, Chrome, Chromeos, Pixel, Nest and Fitbit. However, only employees based in the United States who appear directly to the vice-president of the division, Rick Osterloh, can go voluntarily with a starting indemnity.
Osterloh would have told the team in a memo that the “voluntary exit plan” was for those who had trouble responding to the requests of their role or those who misunderstand the configuration of the company’s hybrid work. People have until February 20 to register for the exit program, and as the service note indicates that they will discover if they were accepted on March 25, some people may not leave the company with the package starting he offers. Google should publish its report on profits for the fourth quarter of 2024 in a few days, and it will be interesting to see if it reveals a drop in income or any other weakness that could have led to the acquisition and imminent layoffs.
“The platform and aircraft team offers a voluntary outing program that provides Googlers based in the United States working on this team the possibility of voluntarily leaving the company with a dismissal package,” Google said in a statement. “This occurs after we have gathered two major organizations last year. There is a huge momentum in this team and with such important work in advance, we want everyone to be deeply engaged in our mission and s ‘is focused on building excellent products, with speed and efficiency. “
According to CNBCThe employees were satisfied with Google’s decision to offer voluntary outings with a starting indemnity instead of going directly to the job cuts. They were apparently aware of future efforts to reduce Google costs and requested optional voluntary buyouts.
