So I "think"I just dodged a "re-organization" bullet..
I work at a certain company that makes a part for the computer (not AMD), and come in this morning to recieve an email that there has been "some" reshuffling on my project and well now I'm one of three working on it lol.

Yeah, will be sending my resume out en-masse now.

11. lol yeah, sad thing is I've been in total Peter (Office Space) mode for

over a month now from total burn out on this and other stuff. At first I really cared if I got laid off, but now I couldn't care less.

Even started showing up late a few weeks ago, and taking off an hour early sometimes. Yet, just like Peter I'm rewarded by getting to stay here so more. It's amazing how stress free life at the workplace is when you just don't care anymore. :rofl:



It's amazing, just posted my resume on Monster this morning and already had 4 hits from headhunters.

4. I also dodged a few bullets before finally
getting hit. My advice is that you update your resume and make a list of your contacts and keep in touch.

6. Does your company send a lot of its work offshore....
...(euphamism for outsourcing)? Just curious. This is a prevalent and dangerous trend, which is slowly eroding the middle class.

Another project I was working on already was sent to jolly ole England. Kinda made sense and I saw it coming, because we weren't doing much here anyway with it.
