Richard, I am a realist. Besides, no one likes sour grapes.
I was gainfully employed at a good salary for 5 years, my longest tenure as a permanent employee. Now I am looking for a good opportunity to ply my skills for an employer that can put them to good use. When the news was handed down, some individuals were escorted from the building. The fact that I was not and still retain a powerful userid is a small testament to my character and work ethic. Hopefully, my next position will allow me to continue to sell the strengths of System z without apology, and at the same time, exploit the technology present on distributed platforms too.

Not my "former" employer just yet. And yes, I am a VP. That and $5 can get you a good cup of Starbucks at any large financial/banking firm. The bank is very solvent. Most lists make it the 7th largest in the US. If you switch, switch for other reasons.
