Adobe cuts jobs of many incredible workers

Wednesday, December 3, 2008   

Sad news here. Because of financials, Adobe had to take some measures and cut 600 full-time positions world-wide. Right before the holidays, this has to come as a steel-toed boot to the nuts for many. Poor CS4 demand? Really? I think CS4 kicks TONS of ass.

Mike Downey is out, which was shocking for me to find out. I don't really know who else is out there shocked, packing up their Adobe stuff and looking for work. Is there any kind of list of known kick-ass Adobeians who were laid off?

Sorry for all of you out there. What a sucky day.

“You want to know what's worse than hearing about 600 people getting laid off? It's hearing about it from dick industry bloggers who still apparently work for Adobe.”

“That's a little harsh don't you think? The Press Release is out there. Who are you referring to?”

“Any blogger with the following line in their blog: "I work for Adobe, but my opinions are my own" and anyone that tried to generate excitement about the AIR bus tour.”

“People always hate to talk about when they are laid off. But as it has become every day's news headline since Yahoo started it with cutting 1500 of its task force last year, now a need of platform has been in demand where people can express their selves in words how they are feeling about their company, whey the got laid off was that justified or not.
And every thing they want to tell anonymously.And www.layoffgossip.com is providing you that platform.”

“Everyone is expecting recession getting over soon. I have a very close friend, who graduated from Harvard. Worked for ML for over 8 years, recently he’s been “right sized” too, despite of his outstanding performance and the increasing revenue he generated. OMG, now the banking industry is badly hurt, how long it would take for those financial background guys like him get back to the job market. Banking jobs are not there as much as before as easily seen on international jobs and other job sites in the region”
