That is such a shame. Must mass layoffs be the start to so many sales or takeovers!?!?! It certainly puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Makes my heart sink! Surely the slump has gone far enough. Time for a turn-around!

oh, that's too bad. I hope the magazine continues to be published! And I hope they all find new jobs that they like!

So sorry to hear this...I know from experience how difficult an acquisition can be even for those who don't loose their jobs. The whole publishing industry seems to be in a slump.
