I'm pretty sure Joel got that tip from a person working at CB. Joel confirmed it before posting. Nothing against you, Joel and Vanessa, but one blog post stating layoff rumors probably didn't rock a company the size of CB. Then again, maybe I under estimate Cheezhead.....

It got so bad people found out they were being laid off from the site in 2000ish. The point I am making is we should all be aware of our surroundings and what is happening in our industry. Picking on the image they chose to use isn't as relevant as the fact that we are facing tough times - and employees everywhere need to be aware of whats happening. If the employer is being open with its employees then the employees won't be frightened by images on Cheezhead.

It's hard for everyone, not only you guys. With somewhat happiness doesn't mean we can't tell the bad news. @cbcb, I thought it’s good to let all know who is layoffs.

You have NO IDEA the panic you caused at CareerBuilder's offices. You should be ashamed that you feel you're simply "reporting the news" and not adding a twist on it. They aren't just "writing" about layoffs Ethan...it's 'how they are writing' that is the problem. Putting the picture of a guillotine wasn’t making light of the situation.

Its Joel and Vanessa's job to write about the layoffs - wouild you tell him to stop writing about companies getting start up capital? or companies being sold? Layoffs are a reality in this enviornment. As a member of this industry I value the information I get here and at other sites - and with all of the uncertainty wish there was more information out there. Joel/Vanessa - keep up the good work. Post more often - we need to stay informed! Seriously - there was like a day and half with no news. CBCB – that was just ridiculous.

Our customer service department is located in Vancouver and we have made no changes to that team.

How could we be? Some of the staff, including myself, have been victims of layoffs in the past. We would never intentionally make light of such a serious topic. After all, it could be any of us. No one seems to be immune anymore. CBCB: I can guarantee you that no one here at Cheezhead, including Joel or any of the other writers on staff, is proud or gleeful about any of these layoffs.

Stop talking about job board layoffs with so much... pride and somewhat happiness. You act like this is something you've been looking forward to for a long time. The boards will bounce back but please...stop adding to the hurt. I wasn't laid off from CB but good people were...and lots are mad that you reported it before it actually happened...once again, with somewhat happiness. Just report the news but don't be a jerk about it. Anyone agree or am I ... sensitive. Seriously–Joel…
