Google expands voluntary exit program to international workforce
Google has begun offering voluntary buyout packages to employees across Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. This move follows a similar initiative launched in the United States last year, marking a shift toward reducing headcount through negotiated departures rather than traditional layoffs in these specific global markets.
The expansion of the exit program, which commenced throughout June, excludes staff working within the Google Cloud and DeepMind divisions. A company spokesperson confirmed the rollout to Reuters, characterizing the effort as an extension of the voluntary separation strategy previously tested with the American workforce. By providing these exit incentives, the tech giant is managing its internal structure in key international hubs, though the company has not disclosed specific targets or the total number of employees eligible for the packages.
