It makes me realize how safe we thought we were in the Google bubble. Economic times are tough, and it was a blow to us when we heard that our temps and contractors' contracts were being ended early, but cutting temps is a measure that you would expect from an organization that needs to save money and cut its resources. To have a group of employees leave the company sends out an even stronger message that Google is feeling the economic crunch.
I am very glad I still have my job, and my thoughts go out to those who were less fortunate - many of whom I knew and were friends to me, not just coworkers.
