With revenues falling and the big tech companies cutting thousands of jobs to tighten their fiscal belts, today comes a surprising announcement from Google. It looks like the Google Cloud division will be asking its employees (referred to internally as Googlers) to share desks, with the measure described as a way for Google to continue to invest in the Cloud. Sounds like there's not much of a need for physical desk space up in the cloud.

CNBC's Jennifer Elias acquired an internal memo about the new Cloud Office Evolution desk-share policy which states, "most Googlers will now share a desk with one other Googler."

Hopefully that doesn't lead to any bad situations.

Hopefully, the workers who got lay off from Google can find new jobs in their field.

The sad part is that it is not always easy for them to get a new job just like that considering that more people are being sacked in other places as well.

When other tech companies are firing their IT staffs too, there's no option left.

The option is to get undervalued by the job market because many places are understaffed.

It's been a shocker with all that's been happening for a while now.
