Uh, nothing but the pleasure of working 12/24/07 thru 1/11/08 without a single day off.
Yeah, I'm bitter.

Just found out during my Cali trip that's LOTS (about half of an 1800 + employee company) of my former coworkers are getting the boot during this season and a couple months ago!
Merry Christmas, huh?!
Talk about timing and bailing before the ship sinks! -

Yeah my company just laid off 40 people and cut some employee target bonuses. However the board of directors all got a nice pay increase. That is what happens when your company goes to bed with a corporation. -

Same thing happened to me back in 2001. The company I was working for eliminated my job in a downsizing on December 15th. Merry Christmas. The only severance was a weeks pay for every year that you'd worked for them and I had to sign an agreement to not persue any legal action to get that. It seems the bigger the company, the less humane and friendly they are towards their employees. It really shows in the way they handle difficult times. -

seems to be a trend: corporations lay off people before the holidays, and retail shortly after. I worked a the now defunked K's Merchandise for a little bit. A buddy and I broke store sales records during the holiday season. Our reward, cut our hours 50% by the second week of Jan.

By dumb luck I scored our Wii today!!! went to wally world on my lunch got on the waiting list. Left work an hour early. 20 minutes after I walk into the door they call my name. you only got one if you were on the list and present when they arrived. I was #11, one woman left the store for 15 min. and lost her spot. 16 were given out all together.
....work gave my wife and I 25 dollar gift cards, and she landed an extra 20 for getting the most Toys for Tots donations. over $450. Even though I don't agree with the way our company selected the toys, I'm still proud of her. What sucked most is when we dropped the toys of at the Marine base. They didn't show an ounce of gratitude. Not even a half ass thank you. It was worth the trip watching my boss almost fall flat on his face checking out a marine lady he thought was cute.
