It also means a good many things I've been pushing for are at least a quarter away from happening and will have less of an impact that I'd hoped. It also, for what its worth, results in a lack of confidence in the decision making process in the company.

There have been a few other contributing factors, and one of the things that the CMs who were laid off was - they were advocates for the community to staff and vice versa.
