I have never heard of companies doing these things, but I can imagine that many companies do, and most employees take those offers. Like mentioned in your blog post, Google and the president are doing this to minimize headcount and ensure mission alignment. While these employees are being “laid off”, I think that other companies should jump on the opportunity and seek out these employees, if they align with their mission. I think it’s important for any business to ensure that all their employees are working towards the same goal because if they aren’t then they will never reach success. With that being said, I’m not exactly sure if buyouts are the best way to approach this situation. For example, President Trump is offering to pay all the employees who resign until September 30 without working. The government will be spending tons of money to pay people that aren’t’ even working for them, when they can utilize that money elsewhere. I know that it gives the employees the incentive to leave and search for a new job while still getting paid, but won’t this hurt the company in the long run?
