Great, there goes the website.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Hey the business consultant who told the owners to lay off half our remaining work force is back! Sweet!

Mr. Brian wrote:Yes! I really hadn't realized how much it was affecting my mood until I was driving home after signing the offer. It really helped too that it was the perfect fall day with blue skies.

I was laid off in 2001 from a start up company. Thank God I was one of the first to go. I got paid for some of my back pay. I was even quoted in the paper on the "start up that ended badly". Link
Start up or not, the owners were disingenuous and frivolous with the money that they were getting as capital. For example, we got a company paid lunch every Wednesday and they started hiring certain people way too early that had very non-essential functions while we had to beg for money to replace modems for customers using our product. We just figured they knew what they were doing. The ones that stayed behind practically worked the whole summer with no pay, just promises.
I will admit that I am not a religious person but the anti-religious slant of the end of that article bugged me even then. It was definitely not as overt as claimed and I felt like that distracted from the fact that the company screwed thousands of dollars and time from it's employees while not being honest about the companies situation.

I got laid off for the first time two weeks after 11 Sept 01. They basically went down the rows of cubicles and laid off every other person, then two weeks later hired a bunch of temps they didn't have to provide insurance for... This at a time when agents with experience were truly needed. Fuckers. They had it all planned.
