for so many layoffs? Couldn’t some jobs have been saved?

I’ve been disappointed in this company before, but this is definitely a new low. Is it possible that they are so secretive when it comes to layoffs? To them we are just not important, that's the point. If nothing else, they could be a little more... — read more
