Last week, Google said that it plans to cut 200 marketing and sales jobs from its international operations.

Google senior vice president of sales and business development Omid Kordestani said,  “When companies grow that quickly it’s almost impossible to get everything right and we certainly didn’t.”  

This is comment is marketing and PR brilliance.

Instead of blaming outside influences, Google blamed itself for making an error.

Research show that Companies that take responsibility for their own actions, challenges, a or problems fair much better over the long term than those companies that blame outside forces (like the economy and new regulation).

Google, once again, shows they are on top of their game, even through layoffs!
