Google is laying off employees at Waze
Google is laying off employees at Waze. The company is moving Waze over to Google’s ads system, and that change will mean job cuts at Waze. Google folded Waze into its Geo group in December.
I know it's due to role redundancy, but ever since Waze was pulled more closely under the Google umbrella, every change they make worries me.
It sucks I use Waze daily and I know maps is t going to have all the same features just like they promised Gmail would get everything from inbox
For the longest time, I held on to Gmail, but honestly it’s been surpassed by Hotmail. The sweep feature is very useful in keeping the unread count down. Besides mail and search, I consider every other Google service temporary.
I used to love me some Inbox for Gmail.
I'm surprised they kept it up and didn't just incorporate the back end into google maps.
Google only ever kills the services I use. I fucking hate Google more and more every year.
the services I use
I fucking hate Google
Looks like you need to deGoogle. I did.
RIP Google Reader. 😥
More to the point however, they're killing off the advertising arm of Waze because they're integrating it into the Google Ads department:
The company is moving Waze over to Google’s ads system, and that change will mean cuts at Waze in “sales, marketing, operations and analytics,” Chris Phillips, VP and GM of Google’s Geo unit, wrote in an email seen by the publication.
Since Waze was originally a separate app that was bought by Google, this is likely just killing off a redundant department. So unless the service you use is Waze's ads, this probably won't affect you too much.
RIP Google Reader. Feedly is nice, but I still liked my plain simple Google Reader
it's just a matter of time until Waze joins this list
