Due to the merger in TS & AS many redundant AS positions will be chopped. AS is bloated & highly overrated. If you are a grade 11 or 12 in AS then you are a target this time as your work can easily be done by grade 6 or 8. Due to the flat revenue... — read more

Why can't Cisco just buy Amazon? Problem will be solved instantly.

What's the deal folks ? Time to flee ?

Sounds like another round of layoffs are coming our way for the month of August. Such is the rumor here in RTP, IT. This is getting old.
