Although Google hasn't handed out pink slips to any of its 20,000 full-time employees, it has cut about half its additional 10,000 contract workers in recent months.

And then the camera swings to the timbalero with a pink star dyed into his fade, cracking into the rhythm, and here comes the bass player--whose father and grandfather were famous singers with Orquesta Aragn--now he's thumping the ones and threes. This thing is really moving now; the horns punch in, and the camera pans across the room...
