		<description>Ok, I'll admit, I read the interview and kept on saying Oh my god over and over again.  Here's the caveat (yeah, called my father to talk about the business side of things), we have to consider a few things. The first is the source.  Someone who is anonymous is more likely to respond with pure emotion than something tempered with rational thought.  That's not to say that what the ex employee is stating isn't true, just that it might not be 100% accurate.  Second, those getting the chunk of the blame might have been making their decisions based on mandates from above.  We still aren't getting a full disclosure, and I doubt that anyone walked away with a good sized chunk of change in their pocket.  The only reason to close doors is if the company was bleeding from the jugular, in which case whatever options you had aren't worth the paper they were written on.  I don't know - just that I have this feeling that we need to take everything said with a grain of salt.</description>
