- dottjt 3y agoThat might be so, but are those engineers being worked into the ground to make it happen?

Some of the projects at these companies are so over bloated and redundant that if a company wanted to save money, they can easily fire a lot of folks, keep the necessary teams for the money making products and go into maintenance mode to keep the existing cash cows going
