OK, so they are really layoffs at DoubleClick, but this still gives me pause.


Maybe the world really is coming to an end?

On the other hand, if I see a company buy up another company, then lay off workers, (I'm no expert but...) my first thought is that there may have been some overlap in their businesses and/or the move was merely anticompetitive. I think in this case Google was buying all of Doubleclicks business connections, the customer base, and they didn't care about the employees.
