Google has expanded its return-to-office mandate, now requiring remote employees within 50 miles of an office to adopt a hybrid work schedule. This change, communicated in an internal memo, affects employees in Core, Marketing, Research, Knowledge & Information, and Communications teams. Additionally, Google is offering voluntary buyouts to support its ongoing efforts following previous layoffs, which saw around 12,000 employees let go earlier this year. The company aims to encourage collaboration through in-person work, although the implications for future layoffs remain unclear.
"Earlier this year, some of our teams introduced a voluntary exit program with severance for US-based Googlers, and several more are now offering the program to support our important work ahead."
"A number of teams are also asking remote employees who live near an office to return to a hybrid work schedule in order to bring folks more together in-person."
