Google is offering "voluntary" buyouts to hardware and platform employees ahead of expected cuts.

The "Platform and Devices" unit includes more than 25,000 full-time employees who work on Android, Chrome, ChromeOS, Google Photos, Google One, Pixel, Fitbit and Nest, according to internal documents we viewed. The voluntary exit enrollment applies to full-time employees in the U.S.

The “voluntary exit plan” may be a fit for employees who are struggling to meet business demands or who struggle in the company's "hybrid work arrangements," P&D Head Rick Osterloh said in a memo to employees Thursday.

The program is the “right next step” for the unit as it aims to “operate with more efficiency and velocity,” Osterloh added.

The buyouts are a signal of expected cuts within Google as it continues prioritizing artificial intelligence. In October, new CFO Anat Ashkenazi said one of her top priorities would be to drive more cost cutting as Google expands its spending on AI infrastructure in 2025.

Some employees praised Osterloh's decision to offer buyouts after workers this week circulated an internal petition titled “job security” ahead of expected cost cuts, CNBC reported Tuesday. One of their asks was for the company to offer voluntary buyouts before conducting layoffs.
