(how many people were fired by Kenexa after taking over Brass Ring? What about VE/ ADP? Unicrew/Kronos?) The PR, good or bad, generated by the discussion of the ceo's blog not only prepared the severed employee's to start looking, but has put a spotlight on all whacked personel so that they will most likely contacted about many job offers.
