    Is that why so many over 50 demand handholding for the most basic tasks?

    So we think that MS is so backwards that a human typed the lettered, or entered data in a form letter. For 1400 employees. We don't think that these letters were generated using, for instance, a datbase query that picked all employees terminated on a certain day, subtracted the hire data to the current date, multiplied by a factor representing the severance pay per time period for the job function, then added any additional severance based on job function. From these calculated values, a letter would be automatically generated. And we don't think that upper management reviewed the severance values before and after they were entered into the database. I am not positive, because I don't use MS products for real work, but I am told they have the technology to do this.

    Even if MS were still using stone age technology you can be sure that all letters were passed by management for final approval.
