Google Cuts 200 Jobs in Sales and MarketingAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on March 27, 2009 - 9:52am.
Mountain View,
Calif. - Needing to thin out its
sales and marketing organization in the wake of the recession, Google (NASD: GOOG) said that
it has cut nearly 200 jobs globally. "We did look at a number of different
options but ultimately concluded that we had to restructure our organizations
in order to improve our effectiveness and efficiency as a business," wrote
Omid Kordestani, the company's senior vice president of global sales and
business development, in a blog post.Kordestani said that the moves are a bid to correct mistakes the company made when it "over-invested in some areas in preparation for the growth trends we were experiencing at the time." Laid off workers will receive outplacement support and severance packages, as well as priority for other jobs within the company.
