The company's stock has been under a dollar for more than 30 days and they are facing delisting off the NYSE if it doesn't turn around.

There's rumors that bankruptcy isn't far off, and there are all sorts of rumors about the company getting sold off in pieces.

I'm just thankful it was only one employee at my paper, some papers with larger staffs are going to be losing a lot more people.

She and I had just talked yesterday about what was going on in the company and I encouraged her to start sending out her resume to protect herself.

I just didn't think it would be this fast.
