    Last year, the teams responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software were merged into one division, and Google today announced a “voluntary exit program” for employees working in the Platforms & Devices group.

    At least there’s some plausible reasoning for this, instead of blanket headcount reduction to pad profits. Reasoning doesn’t change much of course.

      It’s still just an excuse to pad profits.

        The whole market’s about to roll into recession. All the companies are trying to get ahead of their firing before the market goes tits up.
