IT here let go about 15 people last year and then created about 20 new positions mostly in the Mobile space. The direction and technology changes so IT must change as well.

Long term I wonder about server and DBA staffs at companies. As the cloud and software vendors jump more and more into self hosting what company will ADD DBAs or server engineers? Those staffs will shrink. There is more and more of a push for self hosting and goingt to the cloud in general here.
