Google to Fire 4, 000 Motorola Mobile Employees

FedEx is offering a buyout to some of their employees. Not a good sign...

one wonders how many women google will be accused of killing with cancer within the next 6 years. Somebody notify the oblabla superpacs!

THIS FOLKS IS EMPLOYMENT UNDER THE OBAMA PLAN- WORK JUST ENOUGH TO OBTAIN UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE THEN LOGON TO THE GOVT WELFARE PLAN----SWEET

Thanks for the pin. GOOGLE is takin it all over for you know who.

This is just business. When two companies merge, there is always duplication, followed by layoffs. It is very hard to survive a takeover.

Good Riddance, because I just HATE them SO MUCH!!!!!


Just messin' whicha.

BYE! They were all prob texting and playing on their "stupid" phones all the time.

Good Riddance....and note....2/3 (that's 2,667) of them are outside the USA...now ask me what part of that I care about?

A sign of things to come and this is during the march toward the holiday seasons this falll.

Isn't this how it always happens? Whats to be surprised about? A bigger company acquires a little company, they can the little company's employees.

So getting rid of 2666 Outsourced NON AMERICAN jobs is a bad thing why?

4000 times 10 for the people who provide them with goods n sertvices who are going right down the shitter with them

The Obama administration is pressuring defense contractors not to dump workers before the election to hide the job losses that will ultimately result from automatic defense spending cuts slated to begin next year, according to Republican congressmen.

Why is this even pinned? Google is a company like any other. Microsoft does this kind of thing all the time, and no outcry.

Good post OP - does anyone have a list of the major companies that are starting massive layoffs?

I know the government may layoff a million employees and there's talk abou the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notice) Act.

I love seeing news like this. The faster unemployment rises, the faster we will get our doom.

I just don't see the economy ever getting better.
