Google cuts jobs in cloud division, offers ‘voluntary exit’ for HR employees: Report
The expected layoffs at Google are driven by cost-cutting measures even as the company doubles down on AI infrastructure spending.

The tech giant issued a memo stating that its full-time employees––based in the United States of America––and work in the company’s “People’s Operations” department will become eligible for its voluntary exit programme, according to a report by CNBC.
Level-4 and Level-5 employees who opt for Google’s voluntary HR buyouts may receive severance pay for 14 weeks and one additional week for every full year of service, as per the report.
This comes just days after Bloomberg reported that Google is making cuts to its cloud division as well. Several jobs within Google’s cloud unit are being axed, with some roles reportedly being relocated to India and Mexico.
