The global financial crisis has led to a shrinking advertising market. Affected by this, Google, a global search engine giant, recently announced that it would kill nearly 200 marketers. There is no latest news about whether Google China has laid off employees.
According to reports, Google announced the layoff of 200 people last Thursday and admitted that there was a surplus of personnel in some positions. According to other sources, the layoff activities have spread across Google. While downsizing, Google is also recruiting 360 people to enrich some business departments. According to the recruitment positions listed on Google's website, the recruitment range is wide, from software engineers to marketing personnel, and even a food supply supervisor working at Google headquarters in California. A spokesman for Google, Matt Fullman, said that Google has over 20 thousand employees and is engaged in a wide range of jobs, "being redundant in a certain department of the company does not mean that there will be no shortage of manpower in other departments."
