    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    All joking aside, most companies consider those things. Not just the bottom line dollars and cents saved in a mass layoff, but how many women and minorities you're excising. Additionally, I know people say that 50 is the new 40. But in the world of labor law, 40 is the new 60. Basically, if...

    Unfortunately, there's not a heck of a lot you can tell for the future based on the first group of layoffs.

    Peculiarly enough, that would land right in the timeframe that particular recruiter worked for SOE.

    Looks like the last time December 4th landed on a Monday is 2006?

    Again per her LinkedIn page, she worked for Sony as a recruiter from October 2006 to October 2007. Right in Elidroth's timeframe.

    Elaine's current job - from her LinkedIn page: Not sure SOE qualifies as a "large retailer in multiple states", but YMMV.

    Did Brad smile once through the whole thing or seem amped up in the slightest, outside of the "hang loose" at the end? All those guys' parents should have put some points into charisma.
