many favourite holes have been spared layoff by moving them from non-tech teams to be laid off to tech teams even though they are doing the same job/work.
managers have not only secured their jobs/position after getting promoted to post of senior manager (1st oct 2017) with 10% salary hike, but they also did not distribute any salary hike to engineers, keeping it as a bonus.
now they have managed to RETAIN their favourite holes roles for their entertainment.
