Quick, raise your hand if you didn’t see this coming

Google is laying off about 300 employees in its newly acquired DoubleClick ad business, according to a source familiar with the matter.

A Google spokesman said the company could not confirm the number of workers laid off.

“Since our acquisition of DoubleClick closed on March 11, we have been working to match and align DoubleClick employees in the U.S. with our organizational plan for the business,” the company said in a statement.

ooooh you weren’t paying attention then. I hope the management and executive levels are the ones let go. It’s hard to feel sorry for them when you consider just how evil DoubleClick has been in the past. I have their IPs routed to null space (127.0.0.1 [localhost]) :)
