Sun was a great company for a long time. Many Sun employees left to start other great companies, BEA Systems comes to mind.

Unfortunately the leadership of the company didn’t really see what was coming. IBM was fortunate enough to have a Lou Gerstner come in and blow up the constant internal rationalizations to deny reality. Sun has had no such outsider.

It might have been hard to do worse than Scott McNealy but Jonathan Schwartz has actually been far worse. What Scott didn’t know or understand about software Jonathan doesn’t know about general management. (And that’s a great deal for you neophytes out there.)

The bigger picture is even worse. Corporate executives and Wall Street professionals have heartlessly profiteered at the expense of just about everyone else. The truth is it’s more the rule than the exception. The only way to really escape it is to do something yourself, start your own firm, do it with honor, integrity, honesty and virtue.

Seems like Sun in play is a topic of interest to many, funny how hard it is to find balance and humor when the economy is sinking a company who never had layoffs is now on it’s third or fourth, totaling well over 12000 employees many who had been there from the start who now find the stock options they had have no value while the young CEO just took an 11 million bonus and the only ones making money are wall street investors. I suppose satire is a good way to release the tension so it is actually a breath of fresh air, but the real beauty os the going away messages the sun employees send each other of how much they enjoyed working together. This piece of satire could actually even be a wish for a white knight type of story where the once noble founders come back to save the village instead of running away with the plunder, only time will tell but actually a great April fools joke….. Which might also be what Sun has turned into……….. a joke

We’ve had quite a few comments from people but due to strong language can’t post them here. We regret that our satire is a lightning rod for the pent up hostilities and resentments for some people but we hope you eventually figure out a way to stop beating yourselves up and take in life in a little more balanced fashion.
