Jon, The program hasn't even come close to removing all the excess inventory that domestic automakers currently have...most of the the top sellers were foreign brands. The market is not large enough to support the current number of domestic and …

I just heard on Bloomberg news this morning about the possibility of 10% cut in the labor force at Microsoft.

Thanks for correcting my link.

cheapseats, I am seeing a similar situation at the apt complex where I rent in Magnolia. They have been advertising reduced rents and month free move-in specials on craigslist.

Is this the article that I linked from the Seattle Times any different from the e-mail that you read? Because if you read the article it mentions that they are re-evaluating its current hiring plans. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/busines…

"Ummm. LUC. I saw an email a week ago. IMHO MS doesn't forge timestamps. What is your point?" What are you talking about? Forge timestamps??? I included a link to Seattle Times article dated 10-4-08 that discussed them re-evaluating its curren…

Unbelievable, the first thing I did after being laid-off from Amgen was to sell my condo to save money.

That e-mail that you are referring too was reported in the newpapers several weeks ago (10-4-08). http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2008227096_microsofthiring04.html The information I was told by my friend is from a we…

Eastsider, This is anecdotal. I was talking with a friend after rowing this morning. He's currently waiting to hear from MS about a position (permanent) that they are re-evaluating, but more importantly he heard from his contacts at MS that the…

The Tim, Thanks for the tip, I heard about Gilead possible expansion from a friend's boyfriend who is currently employed at Gilead. He told me to keep a lookout for employment oppurtunities in process development.

Hi RCC, Very good question! There are still innovative companies that are being created. Many of them have shifted their strategy from developing a drug from the bench-top to commercial manufacturing, which can cost from 800 million to 1 bn dol…

As Biotech refugee (laid off from Amgen last year). I'm not surprised by the layoffs in the Pharm Industry. The majority of the current Pharm companies have patents that will be expiring in the next few years and will become generics. Most have f…

I almost fell out of my chair when she said that Biotech is one of the industries investing heavily in the area. Amgen laid-off people last year will more than likely lay-off more people in the future...they are the largest Biotech employer in the a…

You can't always assume a "sale" is really an on the market transaction. For instance, getting a non family member off the title of a home forces a "sale" at 1/2 the outstanding loan balance. Divorce has a similar transaction. For this home, the …

I just read the link. I was RIF'ed (i.e., laid-off) by Amgen in Oct 07. Those Oct layoffs are not reflected in the tracker unless there is some sort of reporting delay. BTW, there are more lay-offs coming (inside info) that may or may not include…

finance said, "Overall they say all real estate is local, this is only partly true, but the companies in Washington are doing extremely well. Farming communities are shipping a record amount of crops, MSFT, Boeing, SBUX, Costco, Bio-tech companies, …
