this time it's reducing the electric bill

I sure hope the company pulls through. I've seen a lot of cool stuff come
from Lucent in the past few years. I'm not sure how people in the company
feel but I guess it's a pretty stressful place to work atm. esp. for those of
them who ended up under the Lucent umbrella through aquisitions and the like.

My previous employer was put out of business when the parent company went
broke despite our subsidiary being profitabile. Mind you it work out alright
for my dept. in the end. We started out on our own and took our best clients
with us and most of us ended up with a larger salary and shed an annoying
layer of managment that got in the way of doing our thing.
