I had business dealings with SAS for at least 15 years and found them to be outstanding in how the conducted business and how they treated there employees. I just wish we had more people like Jim Goodnight who not only runs a terrific business , but also cares the same about the employees. Congratulations and keep up the GREAT IMAGE.

"SAS is NOT beholden to Wall St. "

That's a good thing.

SAS is NOT beholden to Wall St. SAS employees ARE beholden to Goodnight. It is a software plantation, and the crop is software leased to their customers annually. It is an arcane business model, a legacy of IBM mainframe days, but it works. SAS's customers derive savings and profit orders of magnitude more than what the software and services cost. There is no true competition (at this large-scale price point). Say your nay, but you are looking at an outlier in American business, a very successful outlier. One doesn't have to approve or like SAS, but one best be impressed with the juggernaut @ Harrison/I40.

You are all correct - I would MUCH rather be working at Target at midnight on Thanksgiving hoping I will have a job on December the 26th.

wow thats alot of ugly talk. I wonder how many of these so called SAS experts have started their own companies from scratch and built it into a multi billon dollar enterprise. I wonder how many of them would even know what SAS does and how their products impact the world.

"When you begin making a decision on whether or not to accept a position, I hope you don't base it on salary alone."

Nope. I can't imagine that anyone would.

Goodnight doesn't just cut jobs without a really good reason, especially when they are bringing in more revenue than ever! lucasd06

Depends on what you consider a "good" reason... or more accurately... what Jim considers to be a "good" reason. Just watch the news my friend...you'll see.
