Google CEO answers qustions regarding layoffs

"He pleaded with staffers to remain motivated"

I heard a few more details of how they had to create a department since they had never had a layoff before to make everyone's access disappear at the same time. People found out they were gone when their badges stopped working. No contact at all with management.

This was a collosal management failure direct from the top.

Expect experienced people to start to bail.

Google could have followed Twitter's change to new management control under new CEO with achievements in multiple high technology industries to boast of.
