Layoffs at MyFamily.com

Personal Blog of Dennis Partridge Layoffs at MyFamily.com: "It appears that MyFamily.com has made the decision to conduct sweeping layoffs of its employees again today. This is not their first time; they having done so in 2000 and 2004. It remains a tragic loss for the employees and families involved as they find themselves suddenly without income. Those that remain, if 2001 is any indication, will find themselves overwhelmed with work as they try to do 2 jobs at once."

Salt Lake Tribune - Business: "MyFamily reorganization
affects around 10% of jobs

Reorganization and expansion of the MyFamily.com family of genealogy Web sites and services divisions has resulted in a turnover of about 10 percent of the company's 500 jobs.
Spokeswoman Mary Kay Evans said Wednesday that about 50 employees left the Provo company last week, even as about 60 new positions were opened.
Employees have been invited to apply for the new jobs, she said.
The work force shift came as MyFamily.com proceeded with plans to split into five business units - the original MyFamily.com Web site, Family History, Heritage Bankers (a direct sales company acquired last fall), Commerce (online/offline sales) and International.
The International division is growing fast, planning this year to add Italy, France and Germany sites to those already serving Britain and Canada.
