Just got laid off 2 days ago. They laid off the entire marketing team leaving only the head developer and the web manager.

They then had the galls to ask us if we wanted to stay for 6 months so we can train OUR FUCKING POSITIONS TO INDIA FOR THEM. We could take that or just leave and take a 2 month severance.

1/2 of me wanted to take the opportunity so I can sabotage the company by making it worse for them, but my dignity wouldn’t let me do it.

Back to job boards again…

Also, while I’m on this soapbox, wtf is up with these fucking companies asking people to do FREE work just to be considered for an opportunity. Wait, this is a LIVE campaign? My work might be used for things other than to show my abilities.

arg~!
