Thank you Francis.

I have been through four of these "cuts" before but this is the first time I have been directly affected. I have a 6 month severance package and excellent software engineering skills, so I am going to try to remain positive.

 

sounds like a good business..!!
we could have, NES2KOS w/ Pinky Mod sticker on the trailer..!! wow

millions?
we could make trillion of dollars on red cars..

 

Go chase that dream - there is probably a market for it. All those people with black cars...

 

John,

You want to do it?


Oh... by the way... if you want to send me your resume... I can try to help you out.

 

Sorry to hear that, John. It seems like even the best of the best are not immunized from this dreadful econo-downturn. It is nevertheless shocking to see the impact within our particular NE group.

But you know what they say: Nothing promotes entrepreneurship like unemployment.

 

Glenn,

Thanks for the offer to help. I will send you my resume. You work for BEA, don't you? If so, I used to manage that account when I was in tech support a few years ago. Pretty sharp engineers there.

Ben,

Thanks for the kind words. I am a victim of the economy. My management doesn't want to see me go, either, but cannot do anything about it. Overall, we are taking a big hit (~21%). The 128/495 area has the highest high tech unemployment rate in the country right now. It's pretty dreadful.

 

Glenn,

BEA=BAD
ATG=GOOD

j/k

Actually ATG + BEA = Good for both of us
