Google To Lay Off 2,000 Employees

Google is reducing 2,000 workers as new CEO Scott Thompson sweeps out tasks that don't fit into his programs for switching around the unhappy Company online.
The reduces declared Thursday signify 14 % of the 14,100 workers applied by Google, which is based in Sunnyvale, Calif.
The housekeeping represents Yahoo's 6th huge layoff in the last four years under three different CEOs. This one will create the inner reduces yet, eclipsing a cost-cutting exercise that fired 1,500 workers in overdue 2008 as Google tried to deal with the Great Economic downturn.
Thompson is making his shift three several weeks after Google attracted him away from his past job operating eBay Inc.'s online transaction service, PayPal.
