Its true - Quark laid off 25% employees

It happened. If you are affected (both in and out) care to add details? 
  1. Department? 
  2. Product? 
  3. If you can put in your own words how the vision has changed over past 2-3 years?
  4. How do you see next 1 year will be?
Godspeed

    The May 19th, 2009 restructuring did not come as a complete surprise to me. The timing was a surprise.

    The only real choice for Quark now is to be bought out. Probably by IBM for the XPress Author/DITA technology.

    Chopper and DPS are not going to be ready this year.

    Senior Management is a joke at Quark, to many chiefs with fat salaries. Ray's a slick salesman, not a CEO. R.I.P. Quark. Nobody will care, as they stopped caring about customers years ago.

    It is over for Quark!! The senior team is still sitting on their high horses and filling their pockets and not giving a damn about the products and customers. Support has moved to India; good luck!! The team in switzerland no longer exists and their is no innovation in sight.....

    I can't think of a software company more deserving of a business/product death than Quark, Inc. You know a company is dead when a new CEO says things like "we're becoming more customer-centric" after 20 years. Goodbye Quark.
