Google announced Thursday it is cutting about 200 jobs in sales and marketing, citing an overlap in responsibilities across the organization that could complicate the “decision-making” process and make teams less effective and efficient.
The cuts will take place globally and employees will have an opportunity to apply for other posts throughout the company, Google said in a blog post. “We over invested in some areas in preparation for the growth trends we were experiencing at the time,” the Mountain View, Calif. company said.
The job cuts announced affect less than 1% of the 20,200 workers employed.
Mark Simon, VP of industry relations at Didit.com, New York, doesn’t believe Google will report revenue numbers as strong as they have in the “zillion” past quarters. “We don’t know what they will report, but I think (the layoffs are) probably a good move in light of the economy,” he said.
“an overlap in responsibilities across the organization that could complicate the “decision-making” process and make teams less effective and efficient” is a long explanation for “laid off”.
I like this kind of BS explanation.Only humans can come up with kind of BS.
Try that in the animal world…you will be a snack.
