    Thumbs down Another One Bites the Dust Part II

    Well, I just got informed this morning that the IT distribution company I started with in August is laying off 85 people. And, yes, I am one of them. Unlike RR, there are not any positions that we might have a shot at moving into. I'll get paid for the next 8 weeks but after that.... nothing. Time to look for something else to feed the addiction.

    Sorry to hear it, man. I'm afraid that we'll see more of this on the forum, unfortunately. I suspect things will be rough for a while. Keep your head up.

    My heart goes out- we are seeing a slowing down all around us. May things turn quickly for you.

    Dang Greg, that really stinks.
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Hey Greg. If you don't mind moving about 50 miles north, there may be something up here for you.
