First our Cisco specialist moves to a better job. Then our IT Director 
is summarily dismissed. And then SOMEBODY DIED. Who'll be next?!

   The question in today's corporate environment is not
   so much "what color is your parachute?" as it is
   "what color is your nose?"

has left for a better job.
