Did Alan Lutz have any part in moving you out of Nortel, you seem to have quite a axe to grind.

Definately a fair question. I don't know Francois, but I do know several ex-BNR engineers who also left around that time. They all say they left because it had become a horrible place to work. One said "They [NT] were on top of the world and blew it." Another said it had become a mecca for Machiavellian types who thrive on office politics.

Having said that, those years also coincide with the virtual elimination of barriers to Canadian engineers working in the US, and let's face it, it's much easier to get disgusted with your current situation when someone is throwing suitcases of money at you.

But, having said that, the ex-BNR guys I know are exceptionally fine engineers. Which also makes sense, since BNR took the cream from Canadian grad schools.
