Google has expanded its voluntary departure packages for employees in several countries to manage rising costs amid significant investments in artificial intelligence. Starting in June, the company offered these packages in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. This initiative follows previous voluntary departure programs in the U.S. and the U.K. and aims to redirect resources to priority areas. Employees accepting the offer receive compensation equivalent to one month's salary for each year of service, up to a maximum of 12 months' salary. The move comes as Alphabet's stock has been affected by rising AI-related expenses, similar to Microsoft's recent layoffs.
