Word on the street is that all this cost-cutting is to prepare the company for a sale to a competitor. Who do you think they're trying to sell to? McK, Epic, Athena, others?

If a tree falls in the woods, no one is around , does it make a sound?
If a company is said to have signed a lease, but evaporates , how good is that lease now? And who do the owners come after...? Air?
If I'm a troll, then how do I have inside memos, and information? (see http://www.twitter.com/allscriptstruth )
In any case, yes, just like their big "job growth intiative" for NC that never materialized, this office tower deal may just be posturing, to make the company look successful, positioning for sale. They're cutting jobs to reduce costs -- which is usually a sign that they're positioning to be an attractive buyout prospect.
Any buyout would likely come before the lease move-in. The motive of the move could be to increase stockholder confidence in the brand. They may not move in there at all. Or, this will end up being Cerner/Epic/eClinical's new Raleigh office.
You're just a troll. If this is true then the correct response would be to buy....
I thought that as well but it also does not make sense if they are to sell for them to already sign a lease for a 12 story building in North Hills to be completed by 2017.
Paul Black did come from Cerner...
