Google Offers Buyouts and Tightens Office Return Requirements
- Google offered voluntary buyouts to U.S.-based employees across multiple divisions on Tuesday as part of ongoing cost-cutting efforts.
- These buyouts followed previous large layoffs of around 12,000 employees in 2023 and additional cuts in 2024 amid a drive to reduce costs, initiated by finance chief Anat Ashkenazi.

- These measures reflect Google's strategy to reallocate resources toward AI infrastructure amid strong demand and aiming to increase operational focus and velocity in 2025.
