Kind of reminds me of my experience where I was laid off. A new VP of the division came in and chopped the ‘highly compensated’ software engineers and other ‘highly compensated’ employees, except ironically; management layers. He completely ignored the capability of the people he laid off and didn’t allow projects to ‘bid’ on people being laid off on the condition that they release a certain number of their own.

Sounds a lot like ABE systems. (defense company with their letters purposely scrambled)…and their death spiral… Yeah, good lucky winning those government contracts and being able to execute…Oh wait…Never mind…Oops, I didn’t say that 🙂
BTW: I was totally totally shocked to learn UCSD teaches very little embedded and real-time O.S and very little practical use on concurrency and multi-threading…Everything is Java. Totally unfrickinunbelievable…I remember taking O/S at USC and we had to write a stupid toy O/S (nachos, or something like that)…
