The Suck
I've spent the last few days trying to assimilate it but I still feel like crap about it. Last Thursday the company I work for had it's third round of layoffs in three years. They've all sucked pretty bad, but this was the cruelest cut of all. Among the casualties was one of my best friends
Rogueslayer who ran our Documentation Dept. Hanging out with her was one of the only bright spots in an other wise barren landscape of corporate desolation. The thing is, there was no reason that she should have been on that list; she was doing a kick ass job, was about to get a glowing review from her boss; she had finally turned the department in to a well oiled documentation machine while being seriously understaffed; then poof - gone. It just blows. So if anyone out there knows of an opening for a kick ass tech writer, head on over to
her site and let her know. There are no doubt other stories like this one through out the company seeing as we were slashed to the bone already and now they're cutting into our core people. I don't know what these cow tipping, goat humping, jerk offs are thinking, but this is no way to run a business.
