yup, knew this was coming. A friend's H was laid off from there earlier this year.

Given that they laid everyone off a month ago, it was only a matter of time. I'm sort of laughing (not really of course - the whole situation is a disaster and i have friends who never recovered professionally from the Howrey collapse) about the Chapter 11 (reorg). Hope springs eternal?

They have been following this for a long time on above the law. I had a friend from law school who is now looking for a new job because of it. Sad for those that lost their jobs.

I'm curious as to the status of the partners who are lawyering up. I should go read the background on this.

Sad for the workers who had no say in it. Not so sad for the higher-ups who caused the klusterfuck.
