We merged companies in Feb. Today..."Sorry, we decided that there's no real fit for you here at the present time."

I've now packed my knives and gone.

sterlingice · 03-13-2009, 04:57 PM

Good luck

SI

PackerFanatic · 03-13-2009, 04:59 PM

Sorry to hear that, CW. Good luck.

Sun Tzu · 03-13-2009, 05:03 PM

Agreed...best of luck man.

JediKooter · 03-13-2009, 05:17 PM

Son of a bitch. That sucks man. Good luck, hope to hear some good news soon.

Passacaglia · 03-13-2009, 05:23 PM

I thought the whole reason you brought the knives in the first place is so that this couldn't happen!

But seriously, good luck.

Neuqua · 03-13-2009, 05:28 PM

Sucks to hear CW. If ever you want to get together and have a beer while bitching about corporate america, let me know.

Dutch · 03-13-2009, 05:56 PM

Sorry to hear that, good luck getting back on your feet.

samifan24 · 03-13-2009, 06:37 PM

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there!

CamEdwards · 03-13-2009, 06:53 PM

That really sucks CW. Hope you find something soon.

terpkristin · 03-13-2009, 07:23 PM

Suck. I hate hearing all these people talk about job loss, I wish my company were hiring right now in those fields.

DaddyTorgo · 03-13-2009, 07:37 PM

Gah CW - sorry to hear that. That's fragging retarded

Subby · 03-13-2009, 07:38 PM

Hang in there. Get shitfaced this weekend and then move on. You'll be back in action before you know it.

Schmidty · 03-13-2009, 07:39 PM

I just got confirmation of my unemployment benefits today, so I'm there with you.

flere-imsaho · 03-13-2009, 09:53 PM

Sorry to hear this, guys.

Flasch186 · 03-13-2009, 09:56 PM

fuck.

Neuqua · 03-14-2009, 12:16 AM

Hey CW, if you do plan on getting shitfaced this weekend and wanted to come to the city, my friends and I have planned an 8-venue bar crawl in wrigleyville. Let me know.

Toddzilla · 03-14-2009, 07:28 AM

Dammit, CW, sorry dude. Hang in there and don't get down on yourself.

Lorena · 03-14-2009, 11:24 AM

Oh man, that sucks. Sorry to hear CW and Schmidty

PilotMan · 03-14-2009, 11:31 AM

Crap CW. Sorry to hear that.

Terrible news CW..

Lathum · 03-14-2009, 01:08 PM

sorry to hear it guys

Coffee Warlord · 04-09-2009, 03:33 PM

Had a really good interview today, cross your fingers. Don't want to jinx anything, but I really feel good about this one.

MikeVic · 04-09-2009, 03:34 PM

Best of luck!

JediKooter · 04-09-2009, 03:36 PM

Yes, good luck!!

Karlifornia · 04-09-2009, 03:46 PM

This whole merger thing should be nothing new to you. After all, you merged the WB and UPN to become the CW.

Schmidty · 04-09-2009, 05:38 PM

Well, I just got a job today. It's not what I really wanted, but I'm tired of sitting home collecting unemployment. It's been a really depressing way to live.

Besides, this is just going to be a temporary job because I know another one that I DO want is opening in July or August.

RendeR · 04-09-2009, 07:20 PM

Good to hear Schmidty!

Good luck CW! Hope it comes through for you. I've had one solid interview for a job that didn't pay nearly enough, wish they'd talked about that a lot sooner. Put in a bunch of resumes. I'm still looking for that perfect job. Odds are the Bengals win a Super Bowl before I find it though.

Coffee Warlord · 04-17-2009, 02:56 PM

Booyah. Got an offer today, and there's still a second company (who is first on my list) that is making a decision tuesday. I told the first place I'd be in to fill out the paperwork for the background check monday morning, and if I don't hear anything by tueday, I'm taking it.

Passacaglia · 04-17-2009, 03:06 PM

Whew, good thing we didn't go golfing! Congrats!

DaddyTorgo · 04-17-2009, 03:08 PM

woohoo!

great news CW

Lorena · 04-17-2009, 03:22 PM

Galaril · 04-17-2009, 03:45 PM

Good to hear FOFCers are all getting back to work.

JediKooter · 04-17-2009, 03:52 PM

Awesome news indeed.

flere-imsaho · 04-20-2009, 08:38 AM

CHEER!!!

Coffee Warlord · 04-20-2009, 07:24 PM

By the by, I officially accepted the first offer, which...

I'm developing/upgrading software for a company who contracts out to the IL Dept of Corrections to track parolees. The server room hosts the hardware that also track those lovely little ankle bracelets.

So if you're a felon in Illinois or Colorado, I shall know all about you.

Wait, wait, wait? So they're letting you edit your own file?

Congrats, CW. I'm also about to begin a project that is criminal-related, so maybe we'll have some war stories to swap next time we meet up for a beer.

Hang in there man.

I took a job I really, really didn't want because I know there's one I do want coming up in the summer/fall.

Icy · 04-21-2009, 02:06 AM

Sorry to hear and good look to all you looking for a new job.
