This could be a very smart move on their part.  If they are correct in their forecast that is.  Lets think about this for a minute.  Many very good people are being laid off right now.  They are hiring those people no doubt.  So they hit the ground running with great people and when the competition is ill prepared for a workload increase, Servicelink capitalizes on having very weak competitors.  Sounds smart to me.  If they have miscalcualted, they may have trouble paying abstractors.  I hope not but we must be cautious.
