Layoffs Watch ’08: Carlyle

By Bess Levin

Deal Journal reports that the buyout shop will cut approximately ten percent of its 1,000-person staff, firmwide. We’re also told that Carlyle is supposedly shutting down its west coast operations, though it’s unclear if the shuttering would be of all three California offices (LA, Menlo Park and San Fransisco) or just one (according to DJ, it’s only the Silicon Valley).

    Bess: WSJ says Silicon Valley office, which I’ve heard to be true.

    Damn! You mean most of these private equity deals only work in a bull market? I’ve got an MBA and I know only about case studies and nothing about running an actual company. Financial alchemy please don’t fail me now!
