In the throes of our failing economy, Google trimmed 100 jobs and close three offices this week. According to reports, 100 full-time recruiters were shown the door. Google also shutdown three engineering offices in Austin (just after it opened "with a lavishly catered party"), Norway and Sweden. Google VP Laszlo Bock announced the layoffs yesterday via his blog, siting "the state of the economy is to blame for the cutbacks." Stay strong, Googlers.

google and their lavish parties.
Serves them right for all that bragging about what a cool place google is to work at.
bit harsh although it would suck to brag about your new job one week and have to look for another at this time the next week.
How are they going to search for new jobs?
Oh wait...
Interestingly they're hiring/training some new employees in the department where a friend of mine works. At least, that's what I recall him saying. They were a bit understaffed there.
