Google is closing its office in Denver and Dallas, as someone at Friendfeed posted today. "Employees have to choose relocation or severance," a former Google employee (according to her blog"s about page) wrote, adding that the reason was consolidation; "Someone decided the ROI wasn"t there." I asked Google for a statement and they say:
Following an operational review, we are consolidating our offices in Dallas and Denver, as we currently have at least two offices in each of these markets. This reorganization is designed to ensure we are serving the needs of our customers, stakeholders and Googlers [Google employees] efficiently. These are the only two cities affected by this review, and all affected Dallas and Denver Googlers will be offered opportunities within the company.
