But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

It's a Japanese company and I'm the only one the Japanese execs will come to if they need help so that's good. You never really know though. They had a large consulting company in to review the staffing levels.

Basically our parent is pissed because our management team lost a bunch of money the last few years on bad deals and decisions.


But I'm thinking it's gonna be miserable around here even if I don't get picked.

unless you work in a logging camp or a firehouse, i think OSHA might frown on free moving weaponry such as axes in the workplace

Good luck, hope the ax misses your head. But the work area will suck for some time around there.

The saddest part of crap like this is.....the "consultants" who came in to ax all those people made more for doing it than those 25 people would have made in salaries for the next year.

I know, I used to be a "consultant". Strange how your soul shrivels just enough to allow you to be as evil as they want you to be when the money is right.

Glad you ducked the ax Tipztoe....time to get that resume in gear though I would say.

When are companies going to learn how to fire?

You make two meetings for mass firings: 1) you're fired 2) you're not. It's way better for both groups.
