Following my November 22 post on a Skype reorganization being in the works, Andy Abramson posted some more on what he’s been hearing, and then Om Malik and Mark Evans jumped on the story. My take: I’ve been through plenty of big company reorgs, and this is probably a lot like one of those. It can take as long as six months to figure out where all the second order bits are, and what everyone’s new job is. Unfortunately, with Google breathing down their necks, the Skypers are short on time.
