Company X Blows Fat Monkeys
(Category:

The news is in and it's not of the happy variety. Our Everyday Stranger has been cut in a round of layoffs by Company X. Go visit Helen and leave some love.
Makes me glad that I don't have a phone from a certain large Swedish telecomunications company.

I thought they were Finnish?
oh ... the other one ... doh!
*hangs head and goes and sits in the corner for "special" bloggers*
I just had a visit to my site from someone at Company X and realizing that it was probably Helen cleaning out her desk, that I'd never see that domain name in the logs again, made me bawl like a baby.
Do you suppose there is something we could do for her?
They'll be Finnish soon if they keep running things the way they are now. I swear this was the most unholy layoff scheme I've ever seen used by a company. Talk about morale destruction. Even Kodak handled things better and they're notorious for how badly they handle layoffs.
I don't know that there's much we can do at the moment. Try to get her to smile if you can. I'm working on something right now (Luuk related) that I was hoping to have already finished but can't seem to get the time to get done, dammit.
It was Helen stopping by, and loving you guys for noting down the correct Company X and for giving me support.
I am still using the corporate dial-in for the next week, and will until I get my own internet stuff set up at home. I am going in late tonight to clean out my desk-I can't handle doing it with anyone around.
In the meantime, I am searching on line like mad for jobs, and am a flood of tears. I am sorry to be such a downer, but that's the way it is.
Gotta' go. Tears again.
The boycott has begun. Jim, you got it 100% right - I've never seen such a poorly handled layoff, and I've been through 3 rounds.
I will make sure everytime I see a Hong Konger with said Viking company's phone, I will explain why they must immediately change it.
So, it's something called Viking and not Nextel?
Good.
I guess I don't have to smash my cell phone then, do I?
I was gonna....
Nay. Neither Viking nor Nextel. He meant "Viking company" as in company from where the Vikings lived.
