>Does this mean employee agreements are up for renegotiating?
Yes, absolutely, 100%, every single job offer I ever laid eyes on has this sort of language:
"You agree you are an employee at will"
"Nothing about this offer should be constitute a guarantee of future employment"
"Either you or {company} may terminate this agreement at any time for any reason or no reason at all"
And even once "this job offer is not an employment contract."
Stuff like that. You only avoid it if you have a union that negotiated an actual contract for you.
Google has decided to end that original agreement and offer you a different one. You can take it or leave it.
>I'd imagine a few employee lawsuits on breach of contract that will test that.
Lol, no, its extremely common for employers to change compensation or benefits unilaterally without notice, at the very least it usually happens every couple years when insurance rates are renegotiated and new benefits packages are put together.
I once worked somewhere where on a random Friday an email went out saying "we will no longer have any 401k match." Bam, I just lost thousands of dollars in compensation with no warning or fanfare. A few weeks later it was another email - "here's the new PTO accrual." A week vacation taken away from me, just like that.
