While you're ranting, tell them that they need to hire me.

Only if you agree with me on everything

What, religion isn't enough? I don't know that I could ever be a sycophant.

Is it better to be a layoff survivor or one of the RIFd?

(Today I am once again the former)

I was RIFd, and it took us 12 years to recover.

I thought that when I first saw it, too, but I think he means he survived a layoff.... in other words, he didn't get cut with the others....I hope.

^No, Debs. I'm a "survivor," FWIW. Sorry for the confusion.

Stratus just had a pretty big RIF today, but the Linux team is untouched (we are strategic for the company's future).

Tom, I'd like to hear more about what you went thruogh. As I recall, you went back to school, didn't you???

I'm freezing here! Spring, where are you? We need to be able to swap music on this site. I have been making CDs for all my friends. I buy them and they get copies (hey... I think I am getting the short end of this deal).
