Google confirmed to Reuters that it extended voluntary exit packages to employees across five additional countries beyond the initial US and UK rollout. The timing (since June) and geographic scope suggest part of the company's broader workforce restructuring efforts. Reuters could not determine the total number of employees who have accepted the offers across all locations.

  • Google offered buyouts in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland
