that’s whacked

a tough day at work today…

Thursday, Aug 3. 2006  –  Category: OpenSolaris, Sun

for anyone not following the news and blogs, today was a big RIF day at SUNW. thankfully, nobody immediately under my director was affected (OpenSolaris and JDS are still around!). i’ll still be your ON delivery monkey for now.

sadly, many other groups and many good people did not escape unscathed.

just wanted to wish everyone who got caught up in the RIF everyone good luck, and ‘bon chance’. i can’t imagine what it’s like to be RIF’d, and i’m truly sorry to see so many good people go. i realise and understand the business decisions behind it, but it’s still painful.

like alcohol on a wound, it’s good in the long run - but boy does it hurt in the “right here, right now”.

anyway, i’m rambling. to the people i had the good fortune to know, and to the many many more i never had the pleasure of working with: thanks for everything you’ve done for Sun.

cheers, steve
