		<description>Why don’t Software people have unions? Because every day may people are speaking about job firings etc...
Even Air India employees united together and went for strike regarding their job sacking.

Even a small employee like a clerk in a bank who have 10th as his qualification can take his issues to union but in software sector we have people from Bits, IITs with grate qualification but there is no common tone among us. Even at collage level we can find unions.
No matter weather it is GOV sector or Private sector but if such layoffs continues there won’t be any secure life for our feature generations.
A person who is at age of 30 or 35 can’t start his life from day one once again.
If this continues no one can give guaranty to ones own child life because job is a base for any feature plan, for example taking a House Loan, child education, insurance policy etc......
Most of the software companies playing game with the feature of their employees. These people are making money by selling shares etc but in front of media they just hide the inner things in the company and they wont care for their  employees feature or their families. 
These companies give pose in front of media saying about their social work and contributions to be honest take example Infosys they collect money from Employees salary every month on account of contribution!
So, I feel there should be union for S/W people too. These s/w companies are going to collages in the name of campus recruitment and throwing job biscuits (like throwing biscuits in front of dog) but there is no proper assurance or security regarding job.
These companies from morning to night squeeze the employees and earn money but they wont care for their own employees .</description>

		<description>[...] MiniTechBubble 2.0, a.k.a. &quot;global economic instability&quot; reared it&#039;s ugly head in Portland this week at Jive Software, maker of collaboration and social software for the enterprise. TechCrunch originally headlined that they were laying off &quot;1/3 of staff&quot;, but Jive CMO Sam Lawrence rebutted that the cuts were &quot;no where near as dramatic&quot; as was reported, but didn&#039;t offer a number. Lawrence later talks to The Portland Business Journal, saying that the cuts are a response to market conditions, and that the company has positive growth and cash flow.
