m2f2··on IBM executives called older workers 'dinobabies'
Curiously, this criteria didn't apply to Ginni, Sam and the like.

Also, it seemed so weird to me that IBM's primary goal had to be to pump share value to $200 by selling whatever they could sell, with the sole long term advantage was for the very same managers who held share options, and were close to retirement.

I left in 2012.

        import sqlite3
        import pprint

        def cnt():
          rows=csr.execute("select count(*) as nr from moz_cookies").fetchall()
          return rows[0][0]

        db=sqlite3.connect(r'C:\Users\XXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY\cookies.sqlite')
        csr=db.cursor()

        ckbefore=cnt()
        rows=csr.execute("select host,count(*) as nr from moz_cookies group by 1").fetchall()
        for r in rows: print("- %3d %s" % (int(r[1]),r[0]) )

        csr.execute("delete from moz_cookies where host not in ("
                " 'your', 'own', 'list', 'of', "
                " 'sites', 'you', 'trust')")
        db.commit()

        ckafter=cnt()
        print("%d > %d cookies" % (ckbefore,ckafter) );

        csr.close()
        db.close()
