Well, after 20.63 years at Sun, I have been caught up in today’s RIF (Reduction In Force). As of 5pm today, I’m out of here.* So far the most common reaction is “You’re kidding!!!” Sadly, no.
However between now and then I’m hosting the regular Thursday afternoon SunLabs tea, so I’d better get on with the arrangements.
