But as it has become every day’s news headline since Yahoo started it with cutting 1500 of its task force last year, now a need of platform has been in demand where people can express their selves in words how they are feeling about their company, whey the got laid off was that justified or not. And every thing they want to tell anonymously.

And http://www.layoffgossip.com is providing you that platform.

I think these stories are great, not for the schadenfreude but rather for what they reveal about the companies themselves

1) “going from 43 -> 30 makes us stronger, blah, blah, blah” – then what were you telling your board when you grew from 30 to 43?

2) “with our substantial revenue stream, our $10M reserve should last us 18 months” – wtf? $10M should last you more than 2 years with 0 revenue. seriously. so, what other things are you wasting money? and, what do you still have no income?

instead of praising the “great CEO making the tough decisions” (seesmic) we should be asking the tough questions. so, TC, please keep these stories coming.

I think its a shame that Jaxr had to follow trend and cut staff. They are one of the jewels in the Silicon Valley startup scene. I don’t see them going away anytime soon, maybe just slowing down and laying low for the next few months while the noise shakes itself out.

You don’t have to be all rosie but what about a job board for those who have been laid off. You write about all these companies letting go of people, well give those people a place to advertise there skill set. In sports you always find a few gems of the waiver wire. Well be that wavier wire. Even a place where these people can maybe form there own companies.

Furthermore why not do a feature on ways to do business cheap. Over the past year I have seen lots of exciting technology that is suppose to help people do things cheaply.

How would you do a startup in this economic environment? Instead of saying cut, and steamline say here are some useful online tools that can help with that.

Mix a Zoho, Backpack, 16bugs, jingproject, google docs, amazon web services into a startup for less than $20 g’s….

If you had to start up a company tomorrow how would you do it in the most cost effective ways and I don’t mean general stuff we all know. What would streamline mean to you…

This is internet starvation…show us what tools can help us rise from the ashes…
