Saw a very talented guy being laid off for cost-cutting and redundancy.
Funny part, Many of his ideas improved TU's core products and saved a ton of money for the company. I as one of his previous manager was more devastated than he was. He was moved from my project to Onetru forcibly for his talent, now laid off because of onetru/onedev's management failure.
Neustar management is firing loyal, talented full time employees in favor of contract for hires which I bet they have an under the desk deal to line their pockets.
