Google, in a recent move aimed at cutting costs, has offered buyouts to employees across multiple divisions, including search and advertising. This decision comes as they await key court rulings regarding their monopoly status, following a case brought by the U.S. Justice Department. The buyouts follow an earlier voluntary exit program and are part of a larger strategy to prepare for potential antitrust remedies. Additionally, employees working remotely near Google offices have been asked to return to a hybrid work setup to enhance in-person collaboration.
A Google spokesperson confirmed the streamlining, stating some teams introduced a voluntary exit program with severance for U.S.-based Googlers, indicating more offerings to support future work.
Google is awaiting a decision from U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta regarding its status as an illegal monopoly after nearly five years of litigation from the U.S. Justice Department.
