There have been seven developers leave in 2 months. 65% of development resources are being allocated to a part of the system written in 20 year old code written in classic asp and vb6 with a backend that consist of sql server 2005 running in 2003 compatibility mode. The system is built on 20 years of patches. Some managers treat developers like children. They go off in uncontrolled fits yelling and cursing at developers...slamming keyboards and in a constant state of hating everything. The morale here is the lowest of a development department I've seen in my 15 years of development. There appears to be a mass exodus of development talent that seems to be just beginning. They are using off shore development resources from Vietnam and some off shore teams from India that most in the development department aren't aware of because they are trying to keep it hush hush and for good reason.
