What is interesting right now is that Google just laid off 200 employees in sales and marketing, which just lost its leader, Tim Armstrong, to Time Warner’s AOL and replaced him with Google veteran Dennis Woodside, reports MediaMemo.

In a memo from SVP Omid Kordestani, he sights overlaps and efficiency as reasons for the new round of layoffs.

When companies grow that quickly it’s almost impossible to get everything right&#151and we certainly didn’t. In some areas we’ve created overlapping organizations which not only duplicate effort but also complicate the decision-making process. That makes our teams less effective and efficient than they should be.
