Thread regarding IBM layoffs

SWG used to be the "place to be."

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.

I've tried other options....

other options didn't work out..... going back to SWG is one of the options that I'm pursuing...

14 years of IBM experience does not translate well in the market place.......
