This whole thread about Telligent feels ironic now that they have gone through major layoffs and replaced their CEO. We should all beware of hubris. Jive looks pretty smart now as they seem to be doing really well after being one of the first to trim the sails.

Our collaboration workspace (CA) is on Jive. It’s got like 14,000 members and over a thousand communities–it just isn’t branded as Jive. I’m sure you’ve seen it.

I can empathize with Chris as I was a lay-off victim earlier this year. And our company’s magic % was around 30% too!

I continue to be disappointed with how companies layoff employees in 2008 – especially from a web 2.0 social media company that should know the consequences.

In fact, I wrote a blog post on Layoffs in a Web 2.0 world last month and here is the link – http://tomhumba...a-web-20-world/.
