Google offers buyouts to staff in its business unit who aren't 'all in'

""We're starting the year in a strong position thanks to everything you accomplished in 2025," Schindler wrote in the memo, which Business Insider viewed. "But the game is dynamic, the pace is electric, and the stakes are high."Schindler told employees in the memo that everyone in GBO needs to be "all in" on the mission and "embracing AI to have even greater impact"."

""For employees who weren't "enjoying the pace we need to operate in" or who are "ready to move on from Google," Schindler said the company would offer a voluntary exit program for certain roles within GBO in the US. This includes employees working on solutions teams, sales, corporate development, and others. Schindler said America's large customer sales teams and other customer-facing roles would not be eligible for the programs.""

Google's global business organization (GBO) is offering voluntary exit packages with severance to certain US-based business roles. Eligible roles include solutions teams, sales, corporate development, and other non-customer-facing positions. Large customer sales teams and other customer-facing roles in the US are excluded to minimize disruption to customers. The initiative aligns with strategic shifts emphasizing rapid pace, high stakes, and broader adoption of AI across GBO. Employees who are not comfortable with the required operating pace or who wish to leave may opt into the voluntary exit program. Similar buyout offers appeared in prior reorganizations and return-to-office enforcement.
