Getting laid off blows

[wyeaster]

not me, brainiac, and private equity doesn't pump gas. looks like the world owes you even more than it owes me! such a tragedy.

[DBdude]

also, since you obviously don't know what the fuck you're talking about, i have never received any social services paid for by those glorious worker bees who have no problem funding the world's largest military and prison system and corporate tax breaks.

cry me a river, bro. your life is a series of injustices.

you are not disabled?

[wyeaster]

laughing my ass off - you don't get fired for fucking one base grind up, and yeah, I used to work in a shop as a tech

whoosh

[wyeaster]

i don't have any sympathy for you because you are useless and a social justice warrior on a ski board

i don't recall ever even wondering about you or your sympathy. it's called a snowboard.

[DBdude]

is that the santorum coming out of your ass

[wyeaster]

you are not disabled?

so fucking witty

i'll give you a hint. she is my idol :





9am wake up, shoot up, take bong hits

9:30 beat off

10am get out of bed, take a shit, use bidet.

10:30 shoot up, dab, beat off

11am -3pm watch days of our lives, etc., beating off every 45 minutes and checking tgr every 3 minutes and dabbing every 60, eat 5 pounds of bon bons

3pm-5pm take nap

5pm-8pm take the boy downtown and beg for change.

8pm call my parole officer

9pm put salve on to recuperate for tomorrow's beating off, go to bed

It was (mostly) about you 7.5 pages.
I think you did good.

Regarding age. The best people I have hired were older. Maybe at startup they want that young vibe but I’d take old almost every time. I hired a woman five years out of the workforce in her forties. Freaking superstar..

I hired a guy in his mid 50’s who was petulant and stubborn but damn could he work.

I don’t see age as a deterrent if you are good at what you do.

Where it is gut wrenching is the guy in his 50’s with a brain disorder that has trouble communicating. I scraped him off the floor more than a couple times. The guy worked like a gd beaver but struggled to communicate. I worry about his future. I just gave a phone interview to a recruiter on his behalf.

Some of us old people know things and can make stuff happen immediately. Been laid off three times due to buy outs. Had opportunities to move twice but OH and TX didn't cut it from CO. Third one was a job we moved for, paid off all bills, purgatory in Charlotte and ended up being laid off and moving back to CO before our own deadline of 3 years.

Opportunities may not look like the old style types these days. Determine what you need to live, keep an open mind, and let it come to you.

Oh totally. And I love thread drifts.

dude - I would get a remote position and work with your bud

I am working with a start up, it is really iffy and I don't consider it a job. i hope it works out, but I need a gig i get paid on time for what I work

i have quite a bit of time in the start up and no pay... the start up is trying not to sell equity for cash. I am not an owner, but hopefully a very large check will come in the relatively near future. maybe I will get some equity... I am not holding my breath

Sorry, but this sounds like a recipe for disaster (for you). Either get a clear agreement in writing that includes equity, or run away as fast as you can. You are being used.

[wyeaster]

you are a cunt. you are denigrating someone's ability to take care of themselves and their family. i find it particularly snide given that you don't work and that what ever social services you get are provided by people that pay taxes

fuck you, fuck you in spades

then there is the matter of calling an employment situation a "hostage situation." yuck yuck!! like i said, such a tragedy.

sorry, skidog! it obviously was a semi-throwaway comment that had nothing to do with you. who knew the tgr's asshole justice warriors would be so triggered?

[DBdude]

i haven't had the pleasure of being banned....

so you have a handle on the PTSD now?

[Danno]

DBdude, I am not the first to say it and won't be the last, but you seem to have some anger issues.

it's somebody I have a relationship with and trust

i'm doing some interesting work in an area I am weak in and want to get better

that said I may not get any money. I am starting a new contract that is work from home at a decent rate - we'll see what happens in the next two months

lol - thanx

i don't like the guy - so it goes

i think his act is total bullshit

but hey danno - keep on buying into it

Agreed. Most of our software developers and other tech staff are in the 40s-50s age group. They have experience, talent, maturity, and were willing to take a bit less money in exchange for not having to work massive hours. We've also had good luck with a few new grads - no experience but talented, hungry and willing to learn. They are moving up fast and relatively inexpensive (for now). Good mix...
