From a friend who is in the same building as Verio Chicago (formerly WWA), I heard that there was a major layoff at our ISP on Friday.. Apparently Verio has cut the technical staff in half. I think Jackson Brunsting, Rich Nuttle, Kim Scarborough and John Dennison (?) are gone or going (not sure of the casualties since I don't know everyone down there). There are others though. Apparently things have been going so well that they didn't need all the staff in Chicago (Note: This is called "sarcasm"). Unfortunately, this is the pattern that Verio has with all their acquisitions. No one in Chicago saw this coming. One piece of fall out from this is that Verio has been moving all the routing through their national infrastructure. This accounts in large part for all the delays people have been reporting. Rumor has it they will be replacing the cluster or relocating it in their Dallas facility. Can anyone confirm this? .
