I have seen this with Scoble and bunch of these guys who don't count themselves part of a company or its decision making - "after" they stop receiving pay check. Even most successful companies mismanage certain things..You can't cherry pick and publish dirty laundry if there is no gross injustice..such things should be highly discouraged because it affects real lives of others

Was I cherry-picking things? I tried to be pretty balanced, though that might be impossible given that I was among those laid off.

Things are still apparently being figured out among the remaining management, but that there was no public acknowledgement that the company was out of money seemed irresponsible to me, and needed to be addressed. I think their lack of disclosure affects the real lives of others more than telling the story of what happened and where things are known to be at — especially for a company that deals in security.
