most of the comments below

most of the comments below are not related to friends hooking up… they are related to me getting laid off from rawhide yesterday.

yes kids, that’s correct. the company that just gave me a 20% raise and a nice promotion a few weeks ago now decided they don’t need me, or about 20 other people.

luckily my (ex) boss pretty much hooked me up with a job with rawhide’s sister company.

more info later.

  1. they knew they were firing you! unemployment pays 65% of your previous salary. the raise was to give you close to the same income on unemployment that you had before you got fired. btw i love bean counters.

  2. well, i’m guessing i won’t bother bugging them for follow up on those resumes. but regardless, that sucks even more for you.

  3. the retarded thing is in a few weeks they’ll have like 10 openings on monster.com.

    but, like i said, i think there’s a better opportunity across the hall.

  4. that thing better work out across the hall. who am i going to make my mcdonald’s run with every morning?

  5. i can’t believe you got laid off from rawhide! i can only imagine how you must feel. wait! i know *exactly* how you feel! welcome to the club!

  6. thank you oldboss! i really appreciate that.

    tony, yes i’ll get your domain setup, but the magic green disk is lost in rawhideland, can you e-mail me a copy, or ftp it up yourself? sorry i’ve been unresponsive!

  7. just as i find a job, you lose yours 🙁 you still have coastalwave going for you, though, right?

  8. what ?!? just 6 weeks away in malaysia and the world in toledo turns upside down !?! first my wife got laid-off, now matt gets laid-off. is toledo a death-trap or what ?

  9. one of my fellow asheron’s call players is a tech desk manager here and he said that toledo is where the dinosaurs of tech support retire or end their career 🙁

  10. well i have leads at heartland and at a local isp, but i can guarantee wherever i end up, i won’t be doing as well as i was before i was laid off money-wise.

  11. matt that sucks !! pehaps a nice virous (sp?) beforeyou leave there might makeyou feel better??
