Don't worry. The economy is great. It's wonderful! Best economy there's ever been! And the capitalism is AWESOME!! Just work harder and everything will be awesome! Because there ain't no problems with the economy, I can assure you!! But good lock. Fuck those assholes. Find something better and for less hours. I don't mind the hours; I come in early on purpose, actually. I avoid all the am traffic, have peace and quiet, and I can get the most work done. Then I get to blow out of here at 3:30 and I'm around to help the kiddos with homework and stuff.

Thaaaanks Obama! Hey Fish, ever consider moving to California? I'm looking for VMware and EMC storage guys in the LA area. What are your top three skills (do not list Posting Funny Pics!) I wish I could help, but I don't have experience in those areas. Mainly performing QA testing on our various Web-based applications before they are released to the field. I spent all weekend starting at resume templates and not knowing where to start...how do I condense 30 years of experience on one page? Fuck. Anyway it looks like they updated the dates on the "Chopping Block" Office from 9/19-9/22 to now 9/19-9/20. So if I survive the next 48 hours I think I should be ok.

Keep us posted - who goes in to the block first - bosses or HR?

Keep us posted - who goes in to the block first - bosses or HR? I have no idea who goes in first or how this is going to work; my guess is HR along with the appropriate manager; if I see my boss go in there Im going to be very nervous. I imagine the shitshow begins at 9 or 930. I have a clear line of sight of the Chopping Block office from my desk. Head a lot of rumours the last few weeks that anyone who scored under a 3 (out of 5) on their performance review was going to be on the block (I got a 3.6). Also there were a lot pf people who did well on their reviews but did not get a pay increase.

Latest word is that supposedly it's 100 people, and as if that wasn't bad enough, they are telling people that "they don't have the money" to pay for severance, they are just giving you an end date of employment. Like wtf.

Like wtf. We have that same 1-5 performance review scale. Must be an industry wide HR thing. When did HR start running the show? Fuck those guys, fuckin idiots the lot of em. Latest thing now instead of firing or lay off or severance is "your position has been eliminated". And then they hire someone to do your same job for less, but change their job title. Crafty, avoids a lot of legal bullshit with wrongful termination lawsuits, etc.

Like wtf. It is things like this and the whole performance reporting system that make me glad to be a contractor. Give me my money up front. There is no pretending that there is any loyalty either way and I am at a high enough level that they treat me well. Good luck. They set all of our web app support and testing to India so unless you are up for a move I don't think I can help you here.
