Ireland Lay off
Dell is playing with the employment law in Ireland. Since they don't have to advertise nor let the government know if they let go less than 30 people in a period of 30 days, they are letting go of less than 30 per 30 days therefore no need to publish... — read more

DELLize means you'd better deliver
My bet is JB and CB gone by EOY, question is whether it's before/after Cyclone either fails completely or pauses to totally restarts with some realistic expectations that can be delivered before the end of the decade. Meanwhile, CML is eating their... — read more
