Idera bought a company that I used to work for out.  They terminated about half of the people without severance (well, you could get severance if you were still out of work after 36 weeks).  The rest were kept on in case Idera&#x27;s employees needed to consult with them about absorbing the purchased IP.  The rest were let go about two months later.<p>Idera buys companies and outsources all further development after they&#x27;ve assimilated the source code and the build process.<p>Embarcadero&#x27;s employees were doomed from the moment the takeover was announced.
