Google lays off 200 in sales and marketing

Google is rectifying its mistakes which it has committed during the period when it was growing rapidly. It says that due the bad position of the market it is planning to cut the employees globally. Employees who were targeted to layoff will be given a chance to find a job in company and if they are not able to find any job then they have no way to go. And to do this they will be given some unspecified time.The changes affect workers globally, Omid Kordestani, Google Inc.'s senior vice president of global sales and business development wrote on the official Google blog.

As the company expanded, it sometimes created overlapping organizations, resulting in duplicated efforts and a more complicated decision-making process. "In addition, we over-invested in some areas in preparation for the growth trends we were experiencing at the time," he wrote.

To be clear this is not the first time google is doing this. Prior to this in January, it laid off 100 recruiters and closed engineering offices in Texas, Norway and Sweden. This year it has also shut down services, including Jaiku, Dodgeball, Catalog Search, Google Notebook, the ability to upload to Google Video, and Google Print Ads.
