Who knew that constant cuts to talent and investment with no end in sight wouldn't lead to long-term success? Why else would Arvind layoff over half the US workforce in just 3 years? Are you really trying to say he is just a clueless parasite with no idea what he is doing? Is that what you are you saying?!?! ? [07:23] schestowitz[TR2] Sounds about right.
