What's Happening to Novell?? Part II Posted on Yahoo.... What's Going On Inside Novell?? by: SmartWire (M/Chicago, IL) 29024 of 29024 >>Not sure if everyone knows this but Novell has been laying more people off over the last three weeks. I know several people inside and a few of them were let go this past week in their support divisions. Shouldn't this type of action be made public; what constitutes a layoff or just an employee firing? Just something to think about. One last tidbit of juicy info to think about. Boys from big blue are still being seen more than average on the VP's Agenda's.>> Yes, this is part of the same I have been hearing - gleaning. I think something is up. The guys who had the ideas, energy and balls on their way to taking Novell back to glory have somehow recently got their nuts in toasters. Earth to Eric....... Stay tuned....... Note - I think some HUGE corporate bigdog accounts have somehow found a way to take over some of the energy, direction and position of Novell. With a technology as hot as NDS finally being discovered, there's a huge risk that Novell could lose political control to these beast customers. Fine, give them what they want. But if Novell is really going to become the true white-hot internet technology it's capable of becoming they CAN'T sell out to these large corporate customers. We, little guy end users represent Novell's future. It looks like Novell's technology is becoming a feast for the big corporate dogs so they can extend the value of command and control for a few more months/years. It's time for smaller devlepment or start-up companies to hop on the NDS bandwagon and create entirely new business and community network e-commerce paradigms for the little guys to step into and sling-shot more of the goliaths out there. We are a small company. We want to get on the NDS bandwagon, but they are sending us strange signals. GO!!
