Google Senior Vice President Rick Osterloh has introduced a voluntary exit program for employees in the Pixel/Android/Chrome division, encouraged by prior team merges aimed at consolidating efforts and integrating AI into products. Employees can opt for this program to receive severance while the company aims for improved productivity and alignment with its mission. This shift reflects a strategic move following the integration of several teams into the Platforms & Devices division and the rising prominence of Google's Gemini AI platform in its hardware and software initiatives.
The Platforms & Devices team is offering a voluntary exit program that provides US-based Googlers working on this team the ability to voluntarily leave the company with a severance package.
Rick Osterloh noted this re-org was a bid to integrate the company's AI offerings more deeply into its products.
