What if they had a layoff and nobody noticed?

Publishers Marketplace reports this morning that , including in its Higher Education division. That is where I'm currently consulting. I had no idea. Apparently the layoffs were primarily in the international areas of the division, and it happened so that investment could be shifted to digital development (which is where I'm consulting). I'm frequently amazed at how the sheer size of a company like McGraw makes certain things possible that just aren't at smaller companies where I've consulted. Usually those things are positive developments, but it also appears that it's possible for there to be a huge layoff and nobody in your department really feels it.

Tough time of year. And a tough economy for this to happen in. I feel for those who are getting hit - Lord knows it's happened to me often enough. If anyone wants to get me resumes, I'd be happy to circulate them.
