The May Report: EMC Scandal

"The correct terminology is that they are called Statements of Work (SOWs). They were falsifying SOWs to make it look like they made quota. That put money into Manish's pocket by way of his bonus which was tied to that. He cut and pasted signatures. In other words, they were forged. Or he had his cronies at a place like Mascon or Motorola sign for him. Three firms I have heard that were involved in the falsification of work are: Motorola, Mascon, and UAL. The falsification has been going on for at least the last two quarters."

I don't know what to think of this.  Ron May is a rabble-rouser, no doubt about it.  However, I've heard of EMC weirdness ever since I entered IT in 1998.  This will be interesting to watch.  According to the May Report, the guilty parties have been let go.  Is this the end of the problem?  Or will we see more similar stories surface?  It should be interesting.

Radio UserLand : DIY Web Services with Radio 8: "In other words, the mind bombs are only beginning. Come with me on a little trip, and at the end not only will you know what Web Services are, you will have written a couple, and even better your mind will be exploding with new ideas of what Web Services can do for all of us to build a better Internet."

a) I love computer hippies, b) I like web-services, c) Radio rules.
