Thank you for your feedback. From time to time we have had to make the tough decision to implement a reduction in the workforce. As much as we are a business responsible to our customers, at this time, our biggest responsibility extends to our employees who have been affected, and we have worked to provide them with assistance as they transition out of the organization.
