Google has expanded its voluntary exit program to employees in Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Switzerland since June 2026, as the company seeks to control rising costs amid heavy investment in artificial intelligence. The program offers severance packages, with Swiss employees receiving one month's salary per year of service, capped at 12 months. Google Cloud and DeepMind staff were previously excluded but appear to be included in this latest expansion.
The move follows Microsoft's decision last week to offer voluntary exit packages to approximately 60,000 employees, signaling a broader trend among major tech firms balancing aggressive AI spending with workforce cost management. Google has not disclosed how many employees have accepted the offers.
