Yes, Infrastructure has been slimmed down as to size, but was done to best fit its offering to IBMs overall game plan. So good try with trying to bring negativity to the table, but you looking in the wrong place.

    21 Years Later, GNU Shepherd Service Manager Hits v1.0
    [12:26] schestowitz[TR3]
    [12:26] schestowitz[TR3]

    Introduced back in 2003 under its former name, GNU dmd, Shepherd has been around for 21 years as a service management daemon. It was among the first init systems to move away from the traditional System V style.

    [12:26] schestowitz[TR3]

    Its a lightweight alternative, written in GNU Guile, to more monolithic service managers like systemd, which herds services by tracking their state and dependencies while providing simple yet effective tools for starting, stopping, and restarting them.

I don't have a defined benefit plan because when I was a bright-eyed young engineer joining this compan,y I had no expectation that I would still be here decades later. To be fair, when I joined IBM as a student in the late '80,s it was still a respected technology company, not a woke biggest-a$$-kisser wins s***hole. [17:56] schestowitz[TR3] Now to my point. I am not afraid of being laid off. I am waiting for it, so when I do, I will hire a lawyer and fight for the 24 months of severance pay that Ontario president has generally made achievable for those with a track record like mine who are willing to fight. So don't mistake our determination to collect a severance in partial repayment for the BS we've had to put up with in this company over decades, for fear. Unfortun [17:56] schestowitz[TR3] ately for you young ones, fear is much more your domain. Best of luck!

[17:56] schestowitz[TR3] First of all, it's "their," not "there." More to the point, if you have fewer than 30 years with the company, you don't really have a pension. [17:56] schestowitz[TR3] That doesn't negate the truth that, if you have fewer than 20 years with the company, the probability of completing your career here is not great. You better be really key to vital niche with top ranked customers. Otherwise, eventually, whatever niche you happen to occupy will be culled. And so will you.
