IBM give 360 developers the SACK!!!!

In the same year when IBM purchased Rational they fire around 380 developers [^]. Where is the love, compassion or decency :mad:? Go figure? Erick :rose:
In business and war, there is no love, compassion and decency. Only profit/victory. -- Take me through the treshold of pain, and hi-tech sex.

If they are the developers that were responsible for Rational Robot (TeamTest), then i've precious little love or compassion for them myself.

Sometimes great developers can be part of hopeless teams or be under the direction of very incompetent project managers and architects.

Then now they're free to be great developers on great projects. Alternately, i can hope it was the project managers and architects who got axed. Don't get me wrong - i certainly don't wish to see these people left destitute on the street, or unable to provide for their families. I just think they should find ways of living more in tune with their abilities... sweeping floors and such.

If anyone owes anyone anything, then it's the guys that sold Rational - not the people buying the company. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

Even in war there is often love, compassion and decency. It is only business that seems to have lost the plot! :sigh:

In war love, compassion, and decency are often necessary. In business, I only miss decency. Love and compassion do not belong. The difference between a pessimist and an optimist is that while the pessimist is always a victim, the optimist is always a target. - Brady Kelly

Maybe they tried to turn around business situation from crisis to boom. But for a turn around, 180 are enough. After 360, they stumbled on in the same direction as before... "Today we are standing at the edge of an abyss. But - I promise - tomorrow we'll take a great step ahead!"

The company that made the most famous mainframe computer. The IBM 360. Need I say more.;P Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented?
