That article discusses rumors of layoffs that never happened. In a May 24, 2008 article, the same paper reports on a reorganization in the SAS education practice that affected 14 positions. The current news can be seen at www.newsobserver.com/business/story/1083772.html To be clear, I work in SAS marketing, but I want to be sure the facts are straight. SAS passed the $2 billion mark and the changes in our education practice are unfortunate for the folks involved, but aren't a sign of trouble at SAS. We're shooting for $3 billion annual sales by 2010. A note of clarification: the basis for the blog posting is a two-year old article in the SAS hometown paper, the Raleigh News & Observer.
