ASK was recently bought by some company -- does anyone know what that company was? Thanks, Dennis

... and to continue the CA/ASK/Ingres saga, about 100 employees (mostly engineers from Ingres) have quit the company rather than be part of CA. I think the dispute was mostly due to insurance coverage of domestic partners. | |||||

CA has a reputation for getting rid of a lot of the employees of the companies it takes over. I met one person to whom that happened. CA took the assets and basically got rid of all the employees. | |||||

re: .-1 Interesting comment. My friend who (still) works at ASK was apprehensive, because of CA's reputation, for a while about whether he'd still have a job. As of about a week ago, he was informed that he will be staying -- but several are being let go. Dennis |
