This was always about destroying tech worker’s leverage to demand a decent quality of life in exchange for their work, never about “intelligence” of any kind, and the only thing that could have stopped it was unionization.

    They are not rehiring the same people. The jobs either go offshore, or to new people for less $

      Thats also going to be more expensive than just keeping the same people. Its a sign of poor managment if they think otherwise.

        Quality of workers doesn’t really matter for big corporations. They are too big to fail. Same with quality of product.

        Windows is shitty. So is SAP. So is almost any product from big corpo.
