Since its Fortune magazine, I should (and will) be paranoid.

These happy tech companies, which allegedly will now issue dividends, since
MicroSoft just did; are the same varmints who led the charge in pink-slipping
workers, during the beginning of this recession. Except for Genetech, which
is a biotech company, I am suspicious that now everything is hunky dorry. As
an employee of a major company, I am well aware of how the boards of
directors are undeservedly lionized, by the fawning, Fortune magazine. A
praise which is wholey undeserved, and criticism which tends to be missing
from Fortune magazine. Ker -phooey!
Who got payed off?
