MSC Software:  AES Veteran, Susan Silvestri, was let go from MSC.Software's Human Resources department on Friday, January 18th.  I didn't get a chance to talk to anyone to get the reasoning behind this.  Reza Khoshniyati confirmed it when he saw them "escort" Susan (and her belongings) out of the building.  Also, Abe Hakmati told me not too long ago that Jeff Cahill will soon be a daddy.  Apparently, that is why he abruptly left MSC.  The new MSC salary increases/decreases are to be announced today (Tuesday).  We won't know what we are making until we see our paychecks.  There are other big changes happening in Marketing, although I don't know if anything is totally official yet.
