 They hit bottom and started digging...

Well, Zyan hit bottom and started digging. In the press release on their site they claim they laid off "about 50%" of their staff. Their own site claims 280 employees, and they let about 200 go. An astute observer counted about 70 people going to work today. Hmmm.
Also, a friend who is a reseller told me of a sorry little tale. She posted a comment about Zyan, and they traced her and tried to get her fired by calling her employer. This may well be happening to many Zyan-related folks posting to various boards and other locations of free speech. No doubt they'll claim it's a breach of the NDA portion of their contract, but I'm told unequivocally that their standard contract says companies can talk about items already in the public domain, or reported to them from an outside party. And since as of 5pm today Zyan hadn't actually told their partner companies anything, nothing said could be coming from them, could it?
Low. Low low low low low. No, lower than that!

  Well I don't know how 'astute' your observer was but first of all, Zyan didn't have anywhere close to 280 employees towards the end. Actually the 'running count' that was posted in HR was close to 254 plus or minus a few. I personally viewed the three page list of "Exiting Employees" and one page of people they were keeping. They have about 50-60 people left.
