Many foresaw the charade that the current management is putting on. They predicted the demise of this place, no strategy or product, no new customers or growth in revenue, and continuous layoffs. All reality.
The real blessing is exposing the self serving management that has destroyed the culture of the company for their own gain. They showed their true colors and character when they got rid of RG, merged his team under their crony SVP to prop him up, and eventually many talented people left or laid off. Check out how many of RG's team got the heck out from under DS and TimberMan or worse, how many left the TimberMan earlier to work with RG are now laid off after the consolidation of the engineering teams.
Many of us know what happened and how vindictive HA, DS, and the TimberMan are. No one in engineering respect or trust them. We will go along with whatever they say to stroke their egos while we plan our exit. They must be proud of themselves, laying off people quarter after quarter and lying all along.
