No! LOL
Who you calling crabby, bogroll?
I am hanging in there. (Apart from waking up at 3 a.m. this morning with my head ablaze with nightmare scenarios). Have some good contacts already and am staying as positive and industrious as I can. I just have to keep faith that this will be relatively brief and will have a happy ending.
The company I left has its own spin on a redundancy program. Basically everyone involved in software development in any way is going to be replaced by a worker in an office near New Delhi. They opened it a year ago, have 50 employees now, and expect to have 200 employees in another year. And the word I was getting from coworkers at corporate HQ in Connecticut is nobody is being offered severance, they are just being replaced. Nice.
