I know he supposed to be a nice guy and all that, but he has presided over this sh--tshow since 2012. At some point, the board has to be blamed for allowing us to buy MFE, ALTR, and hiring this clusterf-ck of a CEO.

Anybody got laid off this week other than performance related (like Stock level 4 or 5, IR)

Expecting to have ISP but so far no news yet so just wondering if they schedule 1:1 with you right before that or one day in advance?

People who are spewed hatred towards indians have two issues : Hypocrisy and lack of critical thinking Critical thinking : Stopping HIb's will not save your jobs. If you believe it , you seriously need 1:1 with HP employees. Once the technology... — read more 

Any numbers for Austin or news on what is going on there?

I'm sabbatical-eligible. I would presume that ERP gets to take it before "retiring", and I know of at least two people in CS that took immediate sabbaticals then formally left. not sure about ISP. Do people with ISP get to take their unused... — read more 

I have a hunch that one of my projects is going to be impacted in June. Even if I don't get laid off, the sheer stress of moving everyone around my group is going to be awful and sad. Meanwhile, I'm doing as much training as I can, meeting regularly... — read more
