It’s amazing how fast your day goes when it’s mostly spent in meetings. At work we finally announced that Infowave closed a deal to buy Telispark. They’re a great fit with us and are going to bring (hopefully) a lot of revenue in the future. By future I mean like Q1. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that in any sort of situation like this is that there will be the inevitable ‘realignments’ of personnel. I’m 90% certain that my department is ok, but everyone is on edge to a certain degree. Until the axe falls, you never really feel safe.

Some people have more to fear than others and they know it. It’s shitty to say goodbye to friends no matter who is leaving. Some are in full scale panic, others quietly resigned to accept their fate.

As I said, I’m pretty sure my department will be left alone but it’s a bit of a stressful situation. Particularly so, when I quit my job to return back to this. Some will go Friday and the rest will told by Monday. All in all, it’s not much fun right now.

The even better news is that this is a really a turning point in the history of Infowave. I think we could finally be on our way to making something of ourselves and get over this constant layoff bullshit. Of course we had similar feelings in the heyday of Compaq as well and that went nowhere.
