I note that during the time period that Engineer's Paradise, and cost is no object thinking was being felt in other parts of IBM. I remember my dad coming home from work at IBM from 1990 onward telling us how many of his co-workers were being offered "buyouts" to retire early. He got out just in time before the big 20,000 head count "blood-letting" in 1994. Just like Kodak in a lot of ways.
