I was layed off maybe...5 years ago? Like many in my team, we were kept on staff for a few months to clean things up. So even before my last day, I had a new job. I'm still there. Making almost 2X now from when I left. But I still have folks I keep in touch with that are still trying to make a good product. They care. So it saddens me thinking of all the people I interacted with over the years I was there that are no longer employed. As I get closer to an actual retirement, the new grads coming out looking for work...do your research for who you want to have a career with.

Hopefully happy holidays to all.

From CIO to VP, they are inept and lack confidence. The CIO's first action was to install Pager Duty on IT, a product from a previous company he departed from. Concerning conflicts of interest. His entire vice president selection is a farce; they can't even deliver a basic presentation well. Anyone still left in IT should update their resume and dull skill set ASAP. The question is if but when they showing you the door next.

@OP+1pCZMBpe unless the WARN Act was triggered, it's unlikely #s will be known
