But the ones that DON’T get cut will count towards Ear Leader’s “jobs saved” statistics, right?

When Adobe cuts jobs - you know the economy is in BAD shape.

I expected this kind of compression from WinZip, but Adobe should be able to take them out of the picture pretty easily, I guess...aren’t going to be much in the way of taxpayers pretty soon, Bammy...it’s the jobs, stupid...

If that doesn’t scream recovery, I don’t know what does.

Yeah but the stimulus saved 90% of its workforce. Give credit where credit is due.

The press will make sure they filter any negative news and transform this loss into a merge down rather than a true delete.

I would not be surprised if this did not become an Administration talking point. ;-)

Yep. My wife's two sisters are unemployed, both were laid off from jobs of long standing, maybe as much as 20 years in one case. Her oldest brother works for Adobe. Or he did last I heard. Youngest brother is still employed, AFAIK. They all live in different states. All have or had "tech" jobs, although the one workding at adobe is the only one with a 4 year degree (engineering).
I guess the Depression has arrived for her family.

I read where Sprint is laying off 2500 people. Obama’s job saved index is a farce.
To: Kartographer
I hate people losing their jobs - but if the designer of Photoshop CS4’s user interface was among the laid off, at least some good will have come from the Obamaconomy....
