Stay away from the unpoifitable stuff????

That didn't stop Compaq from closing down a small team that was exceeding its targets by a long way when it took over Dec. Their work model simply didn't fit in with building PC's. ergo, the PHB's from Compaq didn't have a clue what they did so they got rid. Still my Redundancy paid off the Mortgage.

The moral is that when the beancounters really need to cut costs no one is safe even those who make 200%+ of their budget by the end of Q2.
