The recent news on Nortel makes me want to quote the overused expression from Yogi Berra, “This is like deja vu all over again.” Ten years ago, something similar happened with those clods after I left and back then the economy was in decent shape. I remember being so relieved over being a temp at Apple since I’m sure I would’ve been a recipient of a pink slip due to my dissatisfaction there. My former co-worker Bion sent me an e-mail about it. Seems a couple of my critics were shoved out the door too.
I still have no idea what Nortel makes anyway. I only know they exceed at illogical bookkeeping and laying off hundreds of employees.
