Megan, I'm very sorry to hear that. This is just yet more proof that
many companies, particularly those in the computer field, do not value
knowledgeable employees with many years of experience. Sorry to hear
that you'll be joining those of us who've been discarded by the
computer field. If this is of any consolation: the computer field in
the U.S. is a sinking ship anyway, so, perhaps it's better to have to
walk the plank, or jump overboard, and have a chance of surviving,
than to go down with the ship and drown. Best of luck with other
endeavors!
Years ago, I knew that when the Palmer idiot began selling out to
Micro$oft, that the end of DEC was on the horizon. Alas, HP
(Hopeless-Products?) is no longer the respectable company that it once
was, and it no longer produces the high-quality test equipment,
computer equipment and calculators, that it once did.
