Is Big Yellow going Pink?

No I am not talking about supporting the fight against breast cancer.  I mean pink as in pink slips. Dan Kaplan over on the SC Magazine News team blog (Dan does a great job on the blog by the way, but the SC folks have not joined the SBN, how about it guys?) has an interesting story up about potential big layoffs coming at Symantec. Dan notes that Symantec went through one round of layoffs back in March, but that the scuttlebutt on this round is that it is much bigger this time according to Valleywag. Supposedly the sales numbers especially in North America are not good. 

Will be interesting to see how it plays out.  Of course the whole economy may be headed to the hopper, including tech.  It may not be just Symantec that goes through some belt tightening.
