    As a new hire with a 50k relocation locking me in for the next two years, I readily admit that this place is fucked for the time being, and my years of accomplishments will do nothing to change that. If nothing else, your HR dept are masters of the bait and switch. It's going to be a long ride down.

    tell me about it.
    all these CxOs put on an decent acting show for that wonderful base salary and excessive incentive scheme.

    it requires a selection towards sociopathy.

    Seriously? Jerry Cagle used to sit at his office window at 8 a.m. every morning to note who was arriving at work late. Such a good use of his talents.

    He was reluctant to let us have PCs in the 90s because he observed that people don't spend 100% of their workday actively engaged with a PC. Therefore, the PCs should be shared among 3-4 employees. True story. We didn't get email or access to the internet until 1999.

    The R&D Christmas party used to be at lunchtime on a weekday at the Holiday Inn South. No dates. No booze. Meanwhile, marketing and finance had weekend shindigs at downtown hotels.

    Yep. They really valued R&D back in the olden days.

    Anyone hear that Sabrina is no longer Chief Medical Officer? Catching wind of this rumor and was wondering if anyone else heard the same thing?

    You missed the email. He announced it 2-3 weeks ago.

    Does it matter? Isn't he still sitting on the ELT?
