  Why do all the posts say ‘pending approval from administrator….it should say ‘we are afraid to post this because Burton might not like it…they could pull their advertising and Laurent might call us and complain…wow, power to the almighty Jake…hah!

  wonder if the layoffs coincide with Romain and Anne Florre not re-signing with them?

  seriously?! Give me a break. Layoff’s are a result of the company having to deal with poor EBITAD (means earnings before interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation as reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year). Which in simple terms means - for all the money they spend developing, designing, and marketing a brand/product they need to make money on it! They have heavy investment/overhead in brands and categories that aren’t delivering the return. Plain and simple.

  So Jake lays off workers cuz he can’t afford them, then gives B.O. $50,000 to blow on his inauguration party.

  So much for supporting job creation…
