Summary: Susan Heystee, who was part of the glue between Microsoft and Novell, is leaving to join Telogis
IT is difficult to determine whether Heystee decided to quit or was laid off, but what we do know is that she immediately moved to another job at another company, which suggests the former possibility. For those who do not know, Heystee was Novell's General Manager who was close to Microsoft [1, 2]. You can hear her talking about the deal in some old audio and a recent video where she speaks with Microsoft (there are several of these).
Heystee joins Telogis from global infrastructure software vendor, Novell, where she was a member of Novell’s Executive leadership team. Most recently she served as vice president, general manager, global strategic alliances and was responsible for leading Novell’s strategic partner business covering global relationships with Microsoft, SAP, VMware, Accenture, Dell, HP, IBM and Cisco as well as Intel and AMD.
Who needs RAs (layoffs, which have been rebranded as "buyouts" like pink slips are generous "gifts") when workers can have their butts kicked every day and WARN Act reporting thresholds are never approached?
Someone should ask Linus Torvalds or his boss (Linux Foundation) if they deem slop, which nobody audits, trustworthy enough to add to every computer out there running the Linux kernel
Using imbeciles who lie to cops and then dox cops (and already have arrest record and court documents wherein they admit being stoned in front of the cops)
We're entering bizarre times when layoffs are said to be "down" (according to the regime that suffered a 'bloodbath' in the election) because companies quit using the term "layoffs"
