Gartner redundancies

Gartner would appear to have reached the end of their brief flirtation with consulting and have annouced redundancies which will mean they have less than 400 consultants world wide, with the bulk in the US. This trend will probably continue during 2009 as the company protects its research analysts - ie its core business

Where did you get this news from as an ex Gartner employee myself having been hired by Gartner into their Consulting group which was a bad career move sadly.
