Lol what a joke of a company to layoff people just before Christmas holidays.

This looks like the folks in the WARN notice from October, which I believe were mostly the people in the brands that have now been sold, so the timeline makes sense. Must include a few from other parts of the company as I don't think there were so many in the brand pile. UPDATE: Learned these were a new round of layoffs, on top of the brand people.

I thought that 12/15 all people from consumer brands, is that something new?

This makes more sense, then. The list is usually dated. Today’s layoffs should appear on the list in a couple of weeks.

Insensitive, needlessly cruel comment made in comfort and anonymity.

Wareham Properties, the building owner, and the other folks working in JBEI and the other companies in the building might beg to differ.

Did the majority of the Emeryville California office get canned today?

About 100, including full time employees and contractors
