据路透社报道,Google已确认将带有补偿方案的自愿离职计划扩大至加拿大、法国、德国、日本和瑞士的部分员工。在持续增加人工智能投入的同时,Google正通过调整人员和资源配置控制成本。最新一轮计划未覆盖重点投入的Google Cloud和DeepMind。
Google发言人表示,公司部分团队于2025年开始推出带补偿的自愿离职计划,今年6月又将其扩展至全球少数几个国家,以支持接下来的重点工作。路透社暂未确认此次共有多少员工接受方案。
Google此前已在美国和英国的部分业务部门推出类似计划。公司高管曾将其描述为一种选择,面向不再认同公司发展方向、难以适应工作节奏或已有离职打算的员工。Alphabet近年来员工总数持续增长,但公司也在将资源进一步集中至人工智能和云计算等优先领域。
在瑞士,Google拥有约5000名员工,并在苏黎世设有大型工程中心。知情人士称,当地计划覆盖多个部门,但DeepMind不在其中。Google于6月中旬公布方案,并在7月中旬前向申请员工反馈结果,接受方案的员工从8月开始陆续离职。
瑞士员工获得的补偿与服务年限挂钩,每工作一年可获得一个月工资,补偿上限为12个月工资。一名知情人士透露,其所在的约50人团队中至少有4人接受了方案。Google2023年曾在瑞士裁减超过200名员工,并引发员工抗议和罢工。

According to Reuters, Google has confirmed the expansion of the voluntary separation scheme with compensation programmes to some employees in Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Switzerland. While increasing artificial intelligence inputs on a continuous basis, Google is controlling costs by adjusting its staffing and resource allocation. The latest round does not cover Google Cloud and DeepMind, which are focused inputs.
According to Google, some of the corporate team began introducing a voluntary separation scheme with compensation in 2025 and expanded it to a small number of countries worldwide in June this year to support the next focus. Reuters has not yet confirmed how many staff have accepted the programme.
Google had previously launched similar plans in some of its United States and British operations. Corporate executives have described it as an option for employees who no longer agree with the direction of the company, have difficulty adapting to the pace of work or have plans to leave. Alphabet ' s total workforce has continued to grow in recent years, but the company is also further concentrating its resources in priority areas such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
In Switzerland, Google has about 5,000 employees and has a large engineering centre in Zurich. According to the source, the local plan covered several sectors, but DeepMind was not. Google announced the programme in mid-June and provided feedback to the applicant staff by mid-July, and staff members who accepted the programme began their separations in August.
The compensation granted to Swiss employees is linked to the length of service, with a salary of one month for each year of service, up to a maximum of 12 months. An informed source revealed that at least four of its approximately 50 team had accepted the programme. Google had cut more than 200 employees in Switzerland in 2023 and had provoked protests and strikes.
