A job is not a lifetime entitlement. You don't keep  high wage or inefficient on staff .

I thought Google was the left's great corporate inspiration. So Google is doing JUST what OTHER corporations do....get big, then buy other brands, then lay off employees to pay for it. And Google even wants to "MAKE MONEY"...hmmmmm time for the left and their crazy followers to start making commercials outside Google corporate offices and ransack them on weekends right?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 7:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[Big business is big business.

They aren't a search engine, at least not any more.  Matter a fact, I often find things better on ASK and YAHOO better anyway.  Google keeps getting away from the fact, trying to deepen their own pockets.  They don't recognize that's what cost so many businesses before them their lives such as Hechinger (the store not the Website), as well as a few others I just realized I don’t remember.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[erj210]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 8:03AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[Not surprised, and even though they've expanded to Europe it's here in America they are laying off workers.<br><br>Sounds like most major companies, they move or expand overseas can pay employees less money per hour and make bigger profits.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 8:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is this just not typical? A company does well on gaining American money and then when it grows big it lays off the Americans and sends all the work out of the country. " Most of the Lay offs will take place in the United States according to the memo" I think it is time the U.S. citizens turn their backs on companies who turn their backs on the U.S. No jobs = no money to buy their products. I bet these companies would start giving the U.S. citizens jobs if the citizens stopped giving them the money.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sweets3940]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 8:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[Where is your loyalty?  Cutting jobs in the United States at a time when we need them the most is almost unthinkable.  Google is doing just what everyone else has done, gone where the cost is the cheapest without thinking about the value in investing in its own economic growth at home.  As a Californian, I am completely humiliated by Google's latest announcement.  Shame on you.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linda Barker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 8:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[I will no longer use google to search<br>GO USA!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[motamb]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 8:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[Tim, I think catering to 'stockholders' has brought down more companies than most things.  I've personally watched companies who provided a great service or product - or both - die because of fickle stockholders, who have no idea even of the products offered by the company. It's "make the quick buck and sell."  Not at all indicative of a company's worth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oscar Weatherby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 14th 2008 11:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA["most layoff will occur in the U.S."<br><br>Of course....!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shawnemalone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 13th 2008 9:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Google Layoffs May Come Following Ad Firm Aquisition]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/12/google-layoffs-may-come-following-ad-firm-aquisition/</guid><description><![CDATA[How can anyone blame them for lay offs?
