****LAYOFFS AT ADOBE??????****

[John Hedtke <john -at- hedtke -dot- com>]

I've just heard that there are is a huge layoff going on today at 
Adobe.  The rumor is that the entire San Diego office has been shut 
down, including the building itself.  I've also heard that the Senior 
Product Evangelist for Flash/Flex/AIR has been laid off, along with a 
bunch of tech writers.

There's also a rumor of 10% general cross-the-board layoffs 
throughout the company.

Does anyone know anything further about this, please?  This is really 
bad news both for Adobe and for the people who are getting laid off 
right before Xmas in this lousy economy.  I am sorry to be hearing this.

Yours truly,
