SCO Missing 16,209 Files?
FileSortingZombie writes "After all the allegations by SCO that IBM is abusing or dragging out the discovery process, over in this story on Groklaw you can read about IBM's objections to what SCO is producing in discovery, not the least of which is that there are suddenly 16,209 fewer files in the privilege log, and IBM wants to know what's become of them. Are they unprivileged, lost, destroyed, already produced, or quite simply gone? As of yet, no one seems to know. All told, IBM found fault with some 76% of their claims, especially one case where IBM says that SCO appears to be trying to claim that a conversation it had with an IBM employee should be considered confidential. One helpful Groklaw reader went so far as to put up this analysis of the complaint on his Web site for those interested in just how objectionable IBM found SCO's filing."
If they're too lazy/stupid/whatever to realize what's going on, then they deserve to be left high and dry.
Same with the employees. No excuse not to have left that stinking pile of crap early on. Perhaps a better tactic for SCO employees would be to lie on your resume and say you were in jail for the last 5 years than admit you worked for SCO. Time will tell. These people are unemployable now.
And to all those people who say that "they can't quit - they have a family, etc", that's like saying the Pope couldn't quit the Hitler Youth because he didn't want to be "re-educated" - others made the hard choices he shied away from, and paid for it, such as Hans and Sophie Scholl. Only 80% to 90% joined, so it wasn't impossible to avoid it. Neither the Pope nor SCO employees have an excuse. And as with the pope, Time WIll Tell!
