No tears here. I had this other job, great job, great people. We got bought up by a bigger company (actually a customer). CEO comes in and basically lied to us all saying how they had no intent to lay anyone off and that we were to be an integral part of their company. They even called us their secondary HQ. Laid me and others off not even 2 weeks later. We were a company of about 150, reduced in a few months to like 10 people. I'd personally love to punch that CEO in the face. If you aren't a manager or upper echelon in a company you are nothing but an insignificant POS who'll be used and abused and spit out whenever someone feels like it. Companies get away with far too much BS and it's getting worse. So you see, hard for me to have any compassion.
