From PC Mag: Google on Thursday announced a “voluntary exit program” for its Platforms and Devices team, which comprises employees working on Android, Pixel, and Chrome, 9to5Google reports.
“The Platforms & Devices team is offering a voluntary exit program that provides US-based Googlers working on this team the ability to voluntarily leave the company with a severance package,” Google SVP Rick Osterloh wrote in an internal memo.
