cellboyA resident came in the office yesterday, about some odd issues, then we started talking about jobs
She said
1. Genentech (SSF's largest Co, the company that she works at) is still trying to be purchased by Roche.
2. However they can't get bank financing due to the loan/economy squeeze
3. Many employees are not thrilled. Roche is a coat and tie outfit. Genentech, like Apple (the CEO and Jobs are god friends) and many others in the area, are a blue jeans and T-shirt company
4. Genentech is offering many early severance packages
5. They are still hiring, but many existing contracts from various vendors will not be renewed
She said one thing. "Last year I would get up and say, do I really have to go in today? Today I say, I am glad they need me.
