I always thought that people being laid off is a sign that the company is trying to stay in business. A sign of a company going down is (where I come from) sad gentlemen coming to the office and taking out the computers.<br>
<br>Speculating in this thread is not really helping them at the moment, so just stop it.<br><br>Michal.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/26 Sam Kuper <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sam.kuper@uclmail.net">sam.kuper@uclmail.net</a>></span><br>

No, I was not being sarcastic. People were saying their 'thank you goodbyes' so I wanted to clarify that we are still here, and there is lots of work to do.<br>

I do not know Sven and I never saw him in the office, but he has every right to interpret and share what he heard. Yes, there were layoffs. There are just enough people remaining to keep things going (literally) and Sean chose to do so over shutting everything down. Please try to see things from that perspective instead of siding with the more negative aspects. Tomorrow, what remains of us, will go to work and continue to deliver solid FR hardware, provide re-work solutions and run servers for our customers. If you feel that is not enough than please jump in and get your hands dirty. The idea of an open phone started out as a revolution -- now pick up your sticks and fight if you want it to happen.</blockquote>
