Thread regarding IBM layoffs

When I came in around 15 years ago, people were motivated, well trained, advocates and evangelists of the product and the company. It's a wasteland now. I don't know a single person that doesn't despise the company and the products. Even one notorious long-time "company man" and brown-noser finally agrees that the rest of us were right all along. He's shopping his resume around and it will be a big loss when he goes. He was actually hoping to be in this round until he heard about the 4 weeks severance. He's a product lead and laughs about the horrible code that is being rushed into stuff and lack of testing. Lots of time-bombs and easter eggs in the code by pissed off coders. It's the Office Space of software development now.
