won't notice the difference
"but this time it looks as though it really will be middle management which gets pruned"
If that is the case, then I'm confident us end-users won't notice a jot of difference...
The difference would only be tangible if pointless powerpoint presentations and meetings had a direct & positive impact on service,productivity and the economy in general!
The sad thing is that large companies very seldom use these cuts of flab to inject investment back into the areas where it's really needed; like the technical infrastructure and delivery teams (ie the people who actually make the stuff)
Same old same old... wonder when the next round of cuts will be announced? Next May perchance?
Biting the hand that feeds IT
