More importantly, Nick Hodges hasn't been at Embarcadero for some time now, so quite what relevance there is in mentioning his resume or the size of the team he managed when he was there I simply cannot fathom. And even if the team size of 14 referred to his team at Embarcadero, who's to say that the Delphi team hadn't increased in size since he left, possibly significantly so ?<div>
<br>Also, "Delphi Hater" neglected to share the follow up exchange between Danny Thorpe and John Kaster. JK speculated that out-sourcing/off-shoring might be partly responsible and Danny confirmed unequivocally that this was so.<br>

<div><br></div><div>It would be an unusual company indeed that is entirely unaffected by the global economic situation, and Delphi team members being replaced in one expensive location by cheaper alternative resources in another is quite different from "layoffs", imho. Which isn't to say that it is not a potential tragedy for those affected. But at the same time, Nick Hodges in his *current* role, is HIRING, and recently mentioned that he was fighting over potential recruits with other companies also hiring at "Delphi! Live".<br>
