Not if you lay off redundant middle management, product management, support and so on, and then hire engineer and platform managers, which I imagine is what they are talking about. Company like AD, with all the stuff they buy and how they buy it point blank, must have had some extremely confusing sales and product management conflicts that they're probably trying to consolidate.
Not that I like AD much these days, at an image, markety and clarity level they are so damn messy and murky it stopped being funnny a long time ago, and I believe it's a reflection of things being messy and murky internally. I stopped believing there's a grand plan in there years ago, the last two years feel like short term plan after short term plan gone crooked. It doesn't make their recent statements non-sensical though, if anything they are probably some of the more obvious and clearer in a while :) On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 6:48 AM, Andy Moorer <[email protected]> wrote: > > > For what it's worth, FTA: > > "An Autodesk representative tell us that while the company eliminated > close to 500 positions Thursday, it plans to create that many new jobs over > the course of the year.
