Is that our headcount in Egypt? Or are there more sites other than Cairo? It sounds kinda low, considering it's a country with cheap labour.

Unfortunately, Cairo people will help with the stock buy backs and pay for the dividend. That is all the matters now. The addition to the SP500 has everything to do with seriousness of making both happen as planned. No employee is more important than those 2 events.

Well, I kinda call it Karma because they pushed me and my manager in EMEA out.

We are both in the company in different roles but they played a dirty game.

@OP

What type of jobs were in that Cairo office? I remember a while back we had PMs at that location but that is all I can think of.
