⚡ Wire Simplified:

• Glean builds AI-powered enterprise search tools for apps like Slack, Salesforce, and Google Workspace.

• Big VCs like Sequoia, Wellington, and Khosla joined the party.

✔️ Straight to the Point:

Google’s “Nice Exit” Plan Is... a Buyout 📉

Google is offering buyouts to U.S. employees in search, ads, and marketing — another move in its ongoing cost shuffle.

🚨 Breaking News:
Employees in Google’s core units like search and ads are being offered a voluntary exit package to cut costs and reshape teams.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

• Google’s K&I division (which runs search + ads) is offering buyouts to some U.S.-based employees.

• If you’re not jazzed about AI, the memo suggests you might want to “consider leaving.” Yikes.

• Office returns are now mandatory for remote workers within 50 miles.

• The move helps fund AI infrastructure spending planned for 2025.

• Internal training is shifting focus — from “nice-to-have” to “how to use AI tools like a pro.”

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Google’s trimming teams again — cutting where needed to go full steam on AI. It’s adapt or (softly) exit time.
