Google to Slash 4,000 Jobs at Motorola

Google to slash 4,000 jobs at Motorola. That's 20% of the company. It is expected that a third of those cuts will be in the US. My mind works differently from most so when I read the article two things came to mind:

1. I'm amazed that just 10-years ago Google was a company whose browser was just catching on with the public while Motorola was one of the best known brand names in communications technology. Now Google not only owns Motorola but is streamlining them as if the new kid is teaching the old professional how business is supposed to be done. Who is the new kid lurking around who in 10-years will be teaching Cisco or some other big name how to do business?

2.  If you are on LinkedIn - watch for many from Motorola to suddenly find a new enthusiasm for networking.
