Only 150 employees remaining will no longer be a viable and sustainable operation.   It is clear that Symantec is planning to leave our community completely.   When they finally shut down, though, they want the number being let go to be small, so that no big deal is made about it when it happens.   It is all part of corporate PR to avoid making the company look bad.

Symantec has moved a great many of its jobs overseas, especially to India, which is the nation where they now have the greatest number of workers located.  

The notion that the 500 workers being let go will be able to find similar employment locally is absolutely laughable.  

Sad to see the Register Guard behaving like a corporate stooge, in the way that they have reported this story.
