[DUG] ABorland.Staff.Layoff(300);

[Leigh Wanstead]

May I ask what sorts of future can I see as a developer in delphi
programming? Just bit of confusing.

TIA

  Nope - DevCo isn't part of it.

  Customer Support has a line into R&D but they aren't really part of it, so
they can only request stuff gets done. IMHO, if support is part of R&D they
get much better feedback on what is wrong and the allocation of resources
and funding is much clearer. I hope DevCo does this as well.

  Interesting article, especially this bit "...Borland has folded Customer
Support into Research and Development to improve responsiveness to
customers...".  Sounds a bit odd to me, R&D guys doing customer support.
That would piss me off.




  Sounds like DevCo is not part of this though.

  Realism.
