That sucks, DaFace but at least you got a really nice severance. Good luck in your future endeavors. I'm sure you will land on your feet just fine. [Reply]
The company I work for has laid off a big percentage of employees recently. Seems weird watching people you've known for years walk out the door. They get a severance package as well but I know it's still a shock for them.

Good news is there's parking at work now.
What really sucks when they have layoffs? When you are a manager who has to lay off 10 good people, when you know 2 useless people with offices are still employed because of the work they did 10 years ago... [Reply]

DaFace....watch out for these kind of offers. I have an unpaid "volunteer " positions since I retired...
I now work for the Ms. Mosbonian Fool and Die Company. Every morning my boss comes to me and says "here's your to do list to complete....act like a fool and you die."

You'll find another one soon! I prefer working a the smaller orgs and helping them build something, the payoff can be better than big orgs.
Good luck brotha!
Despite this experience, I'm definitely going to look at early- to mid-stage startups. My role (consumer insights, to oversimplify) probably won't exist in the earlier side, but being a one-man research shop kind of sounds fun. We'll see what I find. [Reply]
