Google just told laid off workers that it miscalculated the amount of stock they'll get in their severance. And some employees will get less than expected.
Google emailed laid off workers that it miscalculated the amount of stock they get in their severance.This email also caused confusion among laid off employees.
"First we want to apologize for an inaccurate calculation that appeared in the initial notification email. The severance package that we explained in the support site, detailed documentation and publicly was correct, but it was inaccurately reflected in the email we sent," the email, which Insider obtained a copy of, read.
"We have followed up and corrected the calculation—and this doesn't change the fact that all departing employees will still be eligible to receive salary and stock units for both the notice period and the severance payment, as well as their 2022 bonus, unused vacation, six months of healthcare and additional support," a Google spokesperson said in a statement to Insider.
For some employees, they will be getting less than they were originally informed about, losing thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in stock, the former employee said. For others, the amount of stock in their severance package would stay the same. Still, this caused confusion among the laid off workers.
