We’d chided Google recently for its out-of-date management page, given the departures and promotions since Larry Page took back the CEO title on April 4. Now the company has, indeed, updated its management page…by taking almost everybody off of it.

The new/old CEO takes his first solo drive for today’s earnings call. Wall Street will care a little bit about his performance, and much more about Google’s numbers.

Things are sure shaking over at Google, since the sudden departure on Monday of Jonathan Rosenberg, Google’s head of product management, and the appointment of a passel of new SVPs.

Having retaken the reins as CEO, Larry Page is clearly mulling a reorganization of Google’s structure, one that eliminates the powerful center that’s so pervasive at the search giant today and replaces it with the business unit autonomy that’s made the company’s Android division so successful.

Larry Page’s tenure as CEO of Google began today with the departure of a trusted lieutenant. Jonathan Rosenberg, chief of product development, said Monday that he’s leaving the company. A shocking departure. Curiously timed one, too. Why leave now?

Time to take the pulse of the Web ad business, courtesy of Google’s quarterly report. No surprise: Wall Street thinks it’s going to be very good!

Google VP Sundar Pichai–who is in charge of its Chrome initiatives–has decided to stay at Google after being aggressively courted by Twitter to join the fast-growing company as its VP of product, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Suffering from employee departures for companies like Facebook or for their own start-ups, the search giant seems to have been able in this instance to persuade its talent to stay put.
