Google has laid off 240 people in Ireland, and employees who have been laid off will receive up to 300000 euros in severance pay.
Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 27 (Xinhua)-- according to the plan announced in January, Google's parent company, Alphabet, will cut 12000 jobs worldwide, including as many as 240 jobs in its Irish operations.
According to the Times, Google has offered a very generous compensation package to appease outgoing employees, which will be paid six weeks' salary for every year of work. Based on the average annual salary of 142000 euros (including benefits) for Google employees, if someone joined the company since they first entered the Irish market in 2003, they would receive severance payment of more than 300000 euros (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 2.214 million yuan).
In addition, laid-off employees will also enjoy 90 days of gardening vacation, that is, during this period, they can still receive wages, but do not have to go to work. This will give them more time to find new job opportunities.
