<4> heh
<0> apt103.net doesn't do ****.
<5> what kind of bandwidth do you have coming in now jd?
<2> 2 x 100mbit, but going to NxGig
<1> sung: anyways, to answer a question: It ****s being unemployed. I haven't slept well in two days
<2> in new place
<2> most likely
<5> new place? sweet.
<0> so jd, is that a no? :)
<2> yeah
<0> damn you.
<3> yea, I have gone through that... sorta a normal reaction
<2> yeah being worried about cash flow ****s
<2> etc.
<1> the bastards gave a counceller who gave me this paper which describes what I am going through
<1> and a stupid graph that shows how it will all get better
<4> hah
<2> canada is nice but i'd imagine theres more $ in boston-area for decent/good sales people
<0> okay jd next time i'm in boston will at least buy me dinner?
<1> jd: my customers are shocked. I spoke to a few of them
<2> then again moving is hell, i'd look for caanda work first
<4> Netwolf, just enjoy being able to sleep in while you can.
<6> 19:53 <@Netwolf> the bastards gave a counceller who gave me this paper which describes what I am going through
<6> 19:53 <@Netwolf> and a stupid graph that shows how it will all get better
<6> are you serious
<6> what
<1> yup
<2> haha
<2> thhats weird
<1> a grief counceller
<2> haha
<1> and a career counceller
<2> sounds like a good madtv skit
<6> bayer gave it to you?
<1> my boss fled the scene thinking I might go postal
<2> except instead of making you feel better, they show the worst case
<2> and has you giiving head for drug money
<2> in the graph
<2> hah
<1> that's how drug companies work
<4> Netwolf, damn man.. it's not the end of the world. How long were you working there?
<2> haha
<1> they give this nice sounding depecating bastard grief counceller who tell you hippe **** when all you want to do is leave the place
<1> MacRohard: 4 1/2 years
<4> yea.. i guess that's a fair time.. it ****s to lose all your old work friends too.
<2> i'm pretty sure i would have walked oout
<1> and my boss stressed on why I should give the career counceller a call and why this is the best thing for me
<1> a blessing in disguise
<2> if they arent helping you find a new job, they arent helping you
<1> jd: I did. I told him I don't need her
<4> yea.. you'll be fine after a few months into the new job.
<6> if i get laid off
<6> i'm going to go on a shooting spree
<1> need a new job
<6> it'll be great.
<1> heh
<2> sung is going to strap up a bomb too
<2> heh
<1> you know...I wanna go postal, At least I'd make CNN
<1> or gasp...FOX
<3> yea, then I
<0> i've been pretty close to getting laid off, but i left the company to go work at a startup right before.
<2> nah, i wouldnt do any of that stuff
<3> d catch more **** on my 'choice of friends'...
<1> no seriously, I can't do ****. I am out...nothing much I can do
<4> i got layed off last year.. it ****ed but i'm doing fine now.
<3> cause I of course would be like 'hey I know that guy!'
<2> i'd extort/embezzle money long before anything violent
<0> i'm a really cheap bastard anyway so... i could live at least 2 years on my savings.
<0> i gave up computers for 3 years to be a sound guy and i made like barely enough to eat.
<1> loyalty means nothing these days
<3> that'll teach you to eat cheaply
<0> loyalty != $$$
<1> I swear...I turned down 4 jobs during my stay at bayer
<3> netwolf, there isn't any...
<4> loyalty still means everything.. but it's loyalty to people not to corps.
<1> hoping they would promote me...but no, instead I get laid off
<2> thats the problem with large companies
<4> well.. sometimes they can't save everyone.
<1> well, what's funny is that I think it's my manager's decision
<1> who leaves and who goes
<4> probably is
<2> the people up top who made the decision to lay you off probably have never even met you
<0> loyalty to your stock holders
<2> or seen your face
<2> or anything
<1> they kept my partner who has less tenure than I do...probably because she doesn't want any growth except be in this job forever
<4> jd, usually the way it works is managers have to nominate people to save
<4> otherwise they get cut
<1> jd: they havee
<1> jd: my boss
<4> but they probably have a quota of people they can keep
<1> that's right
<2> places like ATT have high churn too
<1> but that quota should have included me
<2> in sales
<1> just thinking about it makes me depressed
<2> could be a 100 reasons
<6> netwolf
<6> can i come visit
<2> canada is nice, in the summer!
<2> ;)
<6> damn it
<0> so jd are you a patriots fan?
<6> i'm looking for grips for my 1911
<2> yeah
<2> i like the pats
<0> your razor 1911 ?
<2> surprised they are doing this welll
<2> thhey got alll new players
<0> yah
<0> me too
<2> excellent coaches
<2> i think
<0> well they still got brady seymour bruschi
<2> yeah but i mean a good amt of injuries this year
<0> they kept their team captains at least :)
<2> and plenty of new players
<0> yah
<1> a good friend sent me an email with advice
<0> i didn't think they had a chance without harrison
<1> sung: sure come on up
<1> Standards Branch and walk out.
<1> Never lose your temper or argue. The calmer you can remain (at least externally) the more yo can keep control of the interview. After all, the news you have just received is intensely liberating. This idiot is no longer your manager. He is merely the representative of Gropham and Scrote, a company that now owes you quite a lot of money. Treat him with a polite conteempt. Remember too, that in the back of his mind there is an interesting question:
<3> that is good advice
<0> netwolf its not that big of a deal. go get a job ina call center or something until you can find another tech job.
<1> Never ask why. He has all the reasons ready, although, legally, he needs no reason at all (a reason is not cause). You have never been a team player (Translation: Why cant you kiss *** like everybody else?). You and I have never been on the same page.( Why cant you kiss my ***?). He has a million of them. Not hearing them will make it easier to keep your temp
<1> wbits: I don't want to work in a call center
<0> well no one does
<1> wbits: 6 years of school
<1> a B.Sc, an MBA and now I am fscking unemployed
<0> wow
<0> ****s that i'm a high school dropout and i'm happily employed :)
<2> you'll get another job with an MBA dude
<2> no sweat
<0> jd is your colo your fulltime job?
<1> wbits: bastard!
<1> wbits: :)
<2> just will take some time, how much is the question
<1> MBA's are a dime a dozen these days
