RE: Layoffs may be coming A tactical withdrawal is the safest way for survival. It may be necesary for the company in order to survive to make a tactical withdrawal. This is the proven tactic in war. And I would recommend that the company do just that. When market forces are going against you, you can not be a hero or you'll end up a zero. Heroes turn into zeroes unless you're a good tactician. And the issue here is not to win a battle, but to win the war. So if the generals at CMK know what they're doing I am all for it. As long as they know what they are doing. All they must do find a way to communicate to the troops, the shareholders, what their plan is. And so far we do not know what their plan is Let us hope the generals are proficient in the strategy and tactics of war. End of story..
