      The people losing their jobs are just workers with bills to pay and loved ones to take care of. No billionaires got laid off.

        Yes buy layoffs at Google means something went wrong. They screwed up somewhere.

            Google is dying. That’s the good news.

              Google is intentionally shedding staff to reduce costs to increase their share price. I don’t think they’re actually having any kind of financial issues that would cause this. This is just a company chasing profit at the cost of their staff.

        It’s just a thought geeks who were spying on us on a daily basis. How bad could it get if they all start up #Google spin-offs?
