The website 9to5google cites an internal memo from Google written by Rick Osterloh, the Vice President of Platforms and Devices, offering a package for employees in the division to voluntarily resign.
This policy stems from the organizational restructuring in 2024 that merged the hardware Pixel division and the software Android/Chrome division into the Platforms and Devices Group, necessitating the need for a voluntary resignation package to reduce potentially redundant or excessive staff, as well as addressing concerns from employees who may not be satisfied with their new positions post-merger.
The voluntary resignation program is exclusive to the United States and specifically to the Platforms and Devices Group. Employees who choose to resign voluntarily will receive a compensation package (the duration is unspecified) with further details to be announced internally.
TLDR: Google’s Platforms and Devices Group is offering a voluntary resignation package following a restructuring in 2024, aiming to streamline staff and address employee concerns post-merger.
