GOOGLE OFFERS BUYOUTS TO EMPLOYEES ACROSS THE COMPANY, INCLUDING SEARCH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google has offered buyouts to employees across several of its divisions in an effort to reduce headcount. The 'voluntary exit program' applies to US-based employees. The buyout announcement comes along with a demand for employees to return to the office - workers who live within 50 miles of an office will be expected to assume a hybrid work schedule. Google has done multiple buyout offers in a few units this year.
