    I spoke with a Bethelite (non-US) last week who says that a 20-25% downsize is coming at their Bethel in the fall of 2016. This is in addition to the cutbacks of 2015. More will be sent out 'to the field'.

    Glorious contraction is now taking place...

    I keep wondering when they will get around to selling Patterson and the Farm.

    Selling Patterson & Wallkill would require much more than a 25% reduction.

    Isn't there room for only about 800 or so at Warwick?

    What I meant is after 2016...not layoffs as part of the current migration to Warwick. The other upstate facilities seem redundant as things rebrand from print to video and internet.

    My spouse and I were just talking about that this morning. It may not happen this year, but we think it's coming sometime in the near future (just around the corner). lol

    Not pumping out the same amount of literature and books they once published has really put a dint in the over all scale of the world wide operations.

    Thier going digital so no need for all these places. Thier probably going to liquidate every thing they can to hide the money from the lawyers. Then start investing again under different corporations hoping the lawyers won't find the money.
