We realize that many of you have specific questions and concerns about
Linuxgruven.  We now have some more specific information to offer

Do I still have a job?

As we said in the previous statement, although we regret it, we are
going to have to lay some of you off until we can turn our financial
situation around.  We will send letters out to each of you tomorrow
informing you of your employment status.

What is the name of the outplacement firm and how do I reach them?

Company.  They will take your resume and will try to help you secure a

I am currently in the middle of a Linux training class with
Linuxgruven.  What do I do now?

We are offering two choices to students currently in the middle of a
training course.  Students may choose to wait for classes to resume.
We are currently working on a new schedule and anticipate that we can
release that information next week.  Or a student may choose to
request a refund.  Those students requesting a refund may send a
written request to:

where you were training, your instructor’s name, and the date that
you started your class.  We will do everything we can to process these
refund requests as quickly as possible.  We will notify you via the
Web-site when you can expect your refund to be processed as soon as we
know.
