Google to layoff 200 staff members in sales & marketing
- Published 27/03/2009
Google has grown very quickly in a very short period of time. When companies grow that quickly it's almost impossible to get everything right—and they certainly didn't.
In some areas they've created overlapping organizations which not only duplicate effort but also complicate the decision-making process. That makes the teams less effective and efficient than they should be.
In addition, they over-invested in some areas in preparation for the growth trends they were experiencing at the time.
"Making changes of this kind is never easy—and we recognize that the recession makes the timing even more difficult for the Googlers concerned." says Omid Kordestani - Senior VP Global Sales and Business Development@ Google.
