Google Extends Voluntary Buyout Program to UK Staff

Google says the offer supports its AI-focused priorities in Britain.

Overview

  • An email invited UK employees to apply for a voluntary exit package this week, a move the company confirmed.
  • Google declined to specify which UK teams are eligible or how many employees received the offer.
  • The payout size depends on an employee’s tenure, according to staff guidance.
  • The UK program follows similar voluntary exits this year in U.S. Android and Core engineering units, as well as a YouTube offer in October.
  • Google says it remains invested in the UK and is hiring for critical roles aligned with company priorities, including AI.
