8. Avoid layoffs:

The market is filled with hushed rumors that layoffs are inevitable after the acquisition. When Google had taken over DoubleClick, 40 percent of their employees were laid off. Motorola employees may see the same fate. The company had recently fired 800 employees in the name of reconstruction.

Google does not know yet what it has taken over. They should take some time to consider the possibilities here. The search giants can utilize the talented workforce to come up with newer and better products. They certainly have the resources to do so.
