Atlanta Business Chronicle

This is an excerpt from a 2007 posting in the Atlanta Business Chronicle:

18) John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods Inc.
Revenue -- $753 million, down 4.3%
After experiencing a 4.19 percent increase in revenue in 2005, John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods Inc. had a 4.27 percent decrease in its 2006 revenue, dropping from $787 million in 2005 to $753 million. The company fell from No. 13 to No. 18 on Atlanta Business Chronicle's Atlanta's Top 100 Private Companies list.

John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods employed somewhere around 1100 to 1200 employees when I was originally hired with the company in 2004. I wonder what the head count is at present. My best guess is that between the multiple layoffs and natural (probably at a recently escalated pace) attrition there has probably been an approximate 50% cut in employment.

If I am anywhere close there are a lot of us out here to help each other. I hope that you have and will continue to do so.
