      Good news.

      Less bobdom, Less Hypocrisy, Less Snake Oil and better industry.

        It's like 1993 all over again - where's Lou Gerstner these days?

        I worked for IBM in the late 80s. Lovely company to be an employee but to have the two biggest corporate layoffs in history at the same company in barely a generation is some going.

          The bobs probably aren't employed in the first place.

            I have just been Boomed there...in the midst of Voluntary redundancies!
            I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

                Check the status of WFH for contractors. The ones I worked with had pretty miserable stories with the IBM permies insisting on the contractors to be on site all week so that they can w@nk at home most of the time!

                  Nothing in the news here and Im slap bang in the middle of Silicon Valley. Sounds a load of bollocks to me.
                  What happens in General, stays in General.
                  You know what they say about assumptions!
