I was going to flag this, as it seemed a bit sensational, however I now understand what they are talking about. Google (and Microsoft) are huge fans of temp workers; I could totally see them shedding large numbers of these to please Wall Street.

The same thing is happening in Dubai, with far more dire consequences for those laid off. I'm sure someone will be writing an article on that very soon.

Google Online Sales/Operations (OSO) is notorious for hiring smart, super ambitious 20-somethings from top schools and giving them temp jobs in customer service with the carrot of the possibility of a full time position maybe. Not sure how much of that 10,000 is OSO, but I have to believe it's quite a bit.

Google is an engineer-first culture, so it would surprise and amaze me if there were that many software engineer contractors.
