Violence in Silicon Valley ?
Sunday, November 16th, 2008 | Tech news
Some news often make you upset. Like recent news, an Indian origin CEO Sid Agrawal of a Radio semiconductor chips making company being killed by his lead test engineer who was laid off by him. Layoffs are common nowadays. The board of SiPort Inc. decided to layoff Jing Hua Wa during this economic crisis and he in turn after few days shot them (2 other i suppose) dead in their offices. Now that’s crazy. You don;t expect this in a region like Silicon Valley where Violence is unknown. Sid Agrawal was CEO and Director of the company. The killer (engineer) was then arrested. Why should one kill just because you get laid off ? That’s curious. But a place where growth and development of technology happens at every moment, The Silicon Valley, incidents like this just disturb the environment of growth. My condolence to his family members.
