Google offers voluntary exit packages to UK-based staff, says it will continue to hire for..

Google has begun offering voluntary buyout packages, or exit packages, to employees in its UK offices, saying that it is extending a restructuring program previously rolled out across several US divisions earlier this year. The latest move is seen as the newest effort by the company to optimise operations and refocus on artificial intelligence (AI). It remains unclear exactly to which staff in the UK the offers were extended to. Google employs more than 7,000 people in the UK.

According to Business Insider, the voluntary exit package was confirmed by a Google spokesperson. The report says that an email detailing the voluntary exit package were sent to UK staff this week
