I was at Oracle. Moved on but remain pi---d on how it (RIF) was handled. Not that it was done - how it was handled. Zero consideration for specific circumstances and situations. Business line leadership had a choice - they choose poorly. Ramifications: nothing. Just a vent board and slighly depressed stock. WTF.

@bz, this is @cb my mistake, you were referencing a CA state job and my comments were for the federal Government. You might be interested to know that California has $269 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, just one part of the total state and local government debt which now stands at almost $1.6 trillion.

I borrowed the stats from someone else's post...
@bz Government jobs don't have big fat pensions. Pensions were reduced greatly in the 1980s when the retirement switched from CSRS to FERS. A portion of the retirement is based on a small pension, social security, and an optional 401k called the thrift savings plan. The pension payouts aren't huge.
Look for Government Jobs. The pay is excellent with BIG FAT PENSIONS. Don't miss out! ;0);0);0);0);0)
