Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel and Android were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program.”

    So they can ax the projects and then blame it on staffing?

        Much more likely. I should have added the /s. This was a dig at their “graveyard” of apps and services.

      Generally I’d agree, but in this case they have excess staffing because they merged projects.

      Often this is in middle management.

    If the alternative is being laid off, this is a decent approach imo. A lot of people probably are feeling burned out or ready to leave. The severance is probably going to be generous, probably a years salary and some stock. If you were on the fence, it would probably be tempting. Plus then only the people interested in leaving anyway leave, those passionate stay.

      Or, the best leave as it’s free money and they already have an inbox full of headhunters.

      It’s better than redundancy without choice but it’s bad for Android and pixel.
