Google Unloads Loads of Temp Workers

Due to the ongoing recession, Google, who can do no wrong in our eyes, has let many of its temporary workers go. The Mountain View-based company, according to Business Week, has an estimated 4,300 interns, temporary workers and contractors. Just how many of these workers were pruned has yet to be revealed. This recent layoff goes along with Google's plans to "significantly reduce the number of its contractors and retain all of its full-time employees."

Thanks for the pic of Sergey in a speedo Brock. I haven't seen that one, its niiice.

Being a contractor is soooo freaking scary right now. If I was dropped today, I could make rent for one maybe two months on my savings. My parents might be good for another two. But after that, goodbye San Francisco.
