Isilon is at the gallows

Massive layoffs starting at Dell EMC Isilon in Seattle. Condolences to the s---ers who actually believed Michael Dell that he wasn't going to do that.

QA the fall guy!!!

How common is QA used as a punching bag? Can QA be held responsible for the project delays??? Is it a healthy practice to have a tame QA Manager (aka rubber_stamp) report into SW Engineering Development Director (aka nut_cracker)? Share….your story... — read more 

Might be the decision week

I realized today that my manager has bunch of meetings titled "Private Meeting" this week and most of them are in 171 South street. It's quite unusual because he rarely has meetings outside of 228. I think higher ups are asking for names to roll... — read more
