Why is it always that layoffs get reported but hires never? I mean, many of these companies have become bloated and it's probably time to lose some flab. Google currently has 170,000 employees. What are 170,000 employees going to do at what's essentially a software company? My guess is that the company could lose much more than 10% of its workforce and probably be better off.
