The LifeWyze Corporation is once again in the news today, as it announced plans to lay off nearly two thousand employees worldwide in an effort to curb growing expenditure.

Claims that the cutbacks are a way of paying for the reorganization and image make-over were denied by LifeWyze top brass, however it comes at a time when LifeWyze spent nearly two hundred million in rebranding.

Most hard hit of all will be Cruxium, whose minimum wage is believed to be the highest in the world at approximately $22 an hour. Rumours abound that atleast half of all lay-offs will be at HealthWyze's Cruxium-based bottling plants.

When questioned, Speaker Fenworth stated;

"That LifeWyze would be willing to put so many skilled employees out of work is questionable and deplorable. Should Sir James Irvine go through with these plans it is likely that LifeWyze will be brought up for breaching our Employee Rights Laws."

Sir James Irvine was unavailable for comment.
