Re: New TECHWR-L Poll Question

[Susan Guttman <sguttman -at- semantix -dot- com>]

Reminds me of my last job: all but two developers and myself were laid off
two weeks before a much-needed service pack for our mammoth software was due
to be released. They laid me off because "as there won't be anything being
developed, there'll be nothing to document."

I'm glad I didn't take stock options... ;D
