CNETReuters is reporting that San Francisco-based CNET (CNET) has fired 10% of their workforce today. The worldwide reduction amounts to 4.4 for a total count of 120 employees.

From Reuters, "CNET expected pre-tax restructuring charges from the job cuts to run between $3.5 million and $4 million, most of which will be taken in the first quarter of 2008. The job cuts are effective immediately." 

I sure hope none of my Webware friends were fired! Check out my article from January which looks at one reason CNET is in the mess they are currently.

Update: PaidContent has the memo from CEO Neil Ashe regarding the reorg - it’s quite a lengthy read. It always gets me when CEOs discuss the importance of the team when they just escorted x employees out of the building.
