I recommend merging this thread with Analog Devices

M&A activity always brings layoffs, you can expect that Analog Devices moves quickly and eliminates all redundant jobs - any folks working for finance or HR should be concerned. Hittite Microwave will not be an exception to this rule.

It's a horrible situation, people are very anxious here at HM. I do not know what 2014 will bring but I can tell you that we cannot continue to operate this way - get over with it please...

Been developing ICs for a while, I've seen the cycle, it goes up and down. Right down it's going down for all including HITT

It looks like things will be getting ugly this fall - I think 2014 will be ugly too- we are having major difficulties in the market and the competition is brutal
