Beware: Even YouTube Workers Not Safe Anymore!

Several global companies have been undergoing significant sizing down operations in recent times due to the prevailing market situation. It has reached a point where and mega companies like Google are laying off employees.

YouTube has announced a major internal change and introduced a Voluntary Exit Program for its employees in the United States. CEO Neal Mohan said the company is reorganizing its product teams into three main divisions Viewer Products, Creator and Community Products, and Subscription Products.

This new structure will start from November 5, 2025. The Voluntary Exit Program will allow employees to leave the company on their own choice with a severance package. Mohan made it clear that there will be no forced layoffs as part of this plan.

The main reason behind this move is YouTube’s focus on the future of artificial intelligence. The company wants to use AI to improve every part of its platform, including content discovery, creator tools, and viewer experience.

By doing this, YouTube hopes to make its platform smarter and more efficient. The decision also gives employees a smoother way to transition if they do not want to be part of the AI-driven future.

For creators, this could bring new tools, better community features, and more focus on subscriptions and paid content. Overall, YouTube’s plan shows its preparation for an AI-powered era that benefits both viewers and creators.
