Google offered employees of the Pixel and Android unit to quit their own free will

In April last year, Google formed from the units responsible for the development of Android OS, the Chrome browser and hardware, the new one – it was called “Platforms and Devices). Now, a “voluntary care program” has been launched for employees of this unit.

The senior vice president of Google and the head of the Rick Osterlo (Rick Osterloh) unit subordinate in the official note; The company officially confirmed the resource 9to5google that such a program is. The program applies to American employees of the Platforms and Devices units – they are developing Android (including Auto, TV, Wear OS, XR), Chrome and Chromeos, Google Photos and Google One services, as well as Pixel, Fitbit and devices Nest; The program does not concern employees in other countries. The proposal is irrelevant for those who are listed in other Google departments, including search departments and artificial intelligence.

Initially, the software development units and devices were very large; Several months have passed since their unification, which should have been enough for employees to learn their new roles – during this time, Mr. Osterlo noted, questions began to arise about the possibility of launching such a program. Employees who had previously fallen under Google contractions complained that they were not given the opportunity to leave on their own in advance. The program is addressed to those who may not share the mission of the united structure or experience difficulties in a new quality. When leaving their own free will, such employees will receive a weekend allowance – more detailed information will be presented soon.

Before the merger of the two divisions, the Google Department in the development of devices in January moved to a functional organizational model with a single team and leader – this allowed to reduce several hundred employees. Further merging in April was required to “accelerate decision -making” within the company. “The Platform and Devices Department offers a voluntary care program that gives Google to the US employees the opportunity to leave the company’s weekend. This happened after we combined two large organizations last year. This team has a huge impulse, and with such a large amount of upcoming work, we want everyone to be deeply committed to our mission and focused on creating magnificent products with high speed and efficiency, ”the Google statement said.
