Speaking of nonsense, how do you propose that your job be saved?

I never said it should be. I'm just amazed that people like you show no concern or even asky why the jobs are being lost. Did it ever occur to you that the people with their hands on the controls might not be too bright? Almost every round of layoffs at this company X has been at the talent level, the people actually doing work. You tell me which is smarter: Layoff 10 $80K/year engineers who produce technical innovation or Layoff one 800K/year senior VP who produces powerpoint slides and failed management schemes. My company keeps eliminating engineers, but we seem to be awash with useless executives who do nothing but watch other people work.

You confuse an understanding that some solutions cause more harm than good with an apparent lack of concern. As for executives, what else is new? Some folks rise to the level of their own incompetence.

"VP who produces powerpoint slides and failed management schemes"

You forgot jetting around the US attending meetings...That could be done with a speaker phone. I have seen this all up close and it is not pretty.

After the Huge GWB admin. speeding spree is complete, you will see what the real deal is.

The Free Traders don't care. They views economics like a religion. You don't question the dogma, just worship at the altar.

Pssshaaaw ! Yeah, but I'll betcha not one of those engineers has pistol grip ears and a removable denture like the VP does. I'd even betcha not one of those engineers even has a single pair of square toed shoes or talks with an effeminate lisp like the executive, either. < /sarcasm >
