    Google just laid off 100 recruiters while announcing the closure of a few satellite engineering offices. And few of those 70 engineers, will be laid due to relocation issue.

    Hmm, what you think? If this trend continue on, don't you think even Google may cut out our earnings?

    I found it of this:

    Cutting operation cost sometimes doesn't mean the company is in trouble. We've also heard news about Citibank is to retrench around 50k of their workers around the world. Actually, they have already fired a lot of non-performing staff earlier.

    they are already cutting our earning. You can see that more and more webmaster are looking for an alternative on Adsense.

    I never thought the recession could hurt google. In fact, I expected (wrongly, it seems) that the recession would BENEFIT google. People are holding tight to their money and are staying at home... surfing the internet. Google is probably the biggest company banking on people's internet habits and with the spike in internet usage these days, thus I was expecting it could benefit Google.

    Oh well, seems nobody is an exception to this recession. :)

    Dont think it is goin to affect us. Layoffs are to avoid fixed costs which would be the liabilities

    Why wouldn't it effect Google? remember they make large revenue off Adsense/Adwords. If nobodies got any money or going bust they're not going to advertise, less competition = less money for Google.
