Actually, costa mesa, in a RIF, mostly middle/low management gets cut. Because there's always a plethora of low management.
Lazy, overpaid engineers get cut. High performing, well valued usually dont. Hint, just make sure people value what your doing. Don't let them pigeon-hole you.
All those nay sayers about engineering. Good…I hope more people quit…Less of us, means higher demand. The markets are on fire now, but I guess it depends on what kind on engineering.
Folks need to quit whinning about the offshoring. If you're skills are that easily replaceable, time to differentiate yourself again, or switch professions. I plan to when I'm 40. But that's 8 years away.
