I asked myself "Why start a new 'Laid Off' thread, seeing as how I was one of the other 6 guys in the room getting laid off with studderine.
studderine, I was thinking about it on the ride home, funny that R.V. didn't have the balls to lay us off himself, let alone give us the decency to do it one at a time, face-to-face. Oh well, honestly dude that says more about his character than it does yours or mine for being laid off. The way I'm looking at it now, they did us a favor by getting us out of that dump. Onto bigger and better things dude.
It was an amazing year watching little studderine morph into a UX genius who really knew his shit and could design with the best of em.
Good luck dude. We'll be in touch.

Holy shit! Studderine AND kona!? What kind of asshole, blind, waffle eating cunts would let the two of you go?
Sorry to hear it, and I'll re-iterate: The talented people on QBN that have been laid off recently should be forming new firms to take over the ones that let them go.- ahhahaha asshole, blind, waffle eatung cunts? that is going into my vault of fucked up things tostudderine

- Yeah. What, a month ago they were all about me and what I brought to the table, today...kona
- they didn't have the balls to sit me down and tell me face to face. it was done by committee.kona

Another one bites the dust!
Just got handed my walking papers after 3 years of service.
Nothing personal, company is very slow and 5 others got let go today too. Not sure what to do with myself so I checked out the NSFW thread for the first time ever. I wish I hadn't done that, you guys are sick!- That sucks all the best on your job search.canuck

On this subject, one of our clients is placing this ad in the New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer this week:
"I have listened to the executives of many companies say that they are eliminating thousands of jobs to “improve the bottom line.”
I own stock in many of these companies and would prefer that the company make a smaller profit and the stock fall, in the short term, rather than affect the lives of our neighbors and their families as jobs are lost.
Please join me in reminding all CEOs that we are not just dealing with numbers and profit, but with real people and real families who need to keep their jobs.
Please keep your employees working.
Steven H. Korman
CEO and Chairman of the Board
Korman Communities"- pretty cool of him, I thinkmagnificent_ruin

We are cutting back as well. We just let someone go this morning........I feel like I could be next in line. Doesn't look good.....anybody need a junior designer in Portland, OR....Packaging or print design?

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been through it myself, landed on my feet the times it happened. Stay positive, something will come through. Good luck!
