What this means if you work at Google
Across these filings the notice period ranges from 41 to 62 days. 3 of 4 gave less than the 60 days the California WARN Act normally requires.
The California WARN Act requires covered employers to give 60 days written notice before a mass layoff, relocation or termination. During that period you remain an employee and continue to be paid.
Shorter notice is not automatically a violation. The statute allows exceptions, including a faltering company actively seeking capital and business circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable. The figures below are the dates as published by the state, with the arithmetic shown.
This is a calculation from the published filing dates, not legal advice. If you believe you received insufficient notice, speak to an employment lawyer.

If you are still inside the notice period
You remain an employee until the effective date, and you are still being paid. That is the window in which severance terms, a separation agreement, or an extended end date can still be discussed. After your last day, most of that leverage is gone.
California does not require an employer to pay severance. Anything you receive is negotiated, or comes from a policy or contract you already have. Read any agreement carefully before signing, particularly clauses that waive your right to sue, and be aware that you are generally entitled to time to consider it.
