Google slashes 300 jobs at DoubleClick
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008
These job losses are in th US but this news will be relevant for Irish readers as the US has a big impact on hte Irish economy BUT also Google is a huge employer in Ireland.
Google suffers some negative news!!
Google is slashing 330 jobs at DoubleClick in the US which is about a quarter of the workforce. This is following the acquisition of the company for $3.1bn. Google are being tight lipped about this development which I guess in understandable as no company wants to talk about this type of news.
This type of job cutting has never been associated with Google as it has been up and up for the company. Google’s message is that with any mergers there can be duplication and job loss.
Is this the end of the job cuts for Google and DoubleClick?
We will have to wait and see.
