Sad day at work


It was my co-worker Stacy's last day today - she and I have worked together for 5 years - the first of my immediate team to get laid-off. Makes my impending departure (Nov 3rd) all the more real.

Ugh.

I hate it when that happens.


My company just aquired two others, and told some of my good friends, that the product that they support, will be discontinued. This will make their departure inevitable.

Bummer. Does she have a new job lined up yet?

I know what you mean. We have been going out of business for 5 years now. We’ve gone from 1,500 employees down to 44. Some of my old co-workers are already on their 3rd job since they’ve left.

Luckily we have incredible severance packages waiting for us, and our current workloads are very, very light. So the situation is not at all depressing. It allows me to watch a lot of movies.
