@lightweight Firing half the employees and asking the rest to "...work smarter, not harder" is a proven strategy. For something.
@lightweight Usually it's all about bilking as much of the core product of the acquisition as is possible, while strangling the rest.
@lightweight YOu can guarantee that every WiP project is dead, most talented staff are sacked or redeployed, and the middle and senior manages will gladly wield the axe to save their own skin, which ironically doesn't work. The customers don't matter at all.
@sullybiker Heh. Yes, it is.
