Guck Foogle
So thanks to this pissing contest between Microsoft and Google, several good friends of mine back at Performics/DoubleClick have been laid off. It’s nice to know that the world’s richest companies thrive on getting richer by laying off 30% of their workforce when there’s no solid business reason for doing so.
Fuck Google.

Isn’t a business getting richer a good business reason?
To quote,
“Finding places for all of these people to go is a difficult undertaking for Google, especially as its own employee numbers have grown rapidly in the past year. Given the cooling down of its stock prices and apparent fear of shareholders, bloating a company’s staff is something that Google will have to avoid at all costs”
