Yeah, I've heard that line of BS. I work (for two months, until my termination becomes effective) for a optical transport builder, doing research. I program test systems using some of the most sophisticated software tools known. Some "buggy-whip". Word is that the development work will be moved offshore and that all personnel not involved in maintenance (lower paying jobs) will be whacked. I'll likely be able to find work, that is until my next employer starts eyeing his stock options, looking for that quick boost, or the latest fashion in pump-and-dump schemes.
