Its one thing to lay-off employees, I understand executives not wanting to take responsibility of the problems they created, human selfish behaviour and such.

Its a whole another thing to kick those workers when they are down. Imagine trying to find a job in this difficult tech market and being labelled as an underperformer! That's just plain evil !

Not sure if its possible, but I hope this turns into a defamation class action lawsuit by the former employees against Intuit.
