Does the current crisis affect your company?

Oops. I WAS drinking when I read his post. :laugh:

Careful. Drinking and posting don't mix. I learned the hard way after once posting a penis pic late one night and coming back to utter mayhem the next morning totally forgetting what I had done.

Now THAT would be funny! :laugh:

No, actually it would not be.  :tongue:

OK - fine. I'll be sure to drunk post boobs for the guys. :wink:

I tried that, but nobody noticed. They thought they were looking at my back.

Wow. They really ARE like that pic you posted of the nerdy guy in the basement. :laugh:

[G_Town]

In the interest of keeping that forum clean all that feel the need to post boobs may PM them to me.

This does not mean you PB :tongue:

Meeting over. Seven percent cut across the board. Ouch.

I was that or six employees. Yeah, like they are going to cut six managers. Go ahead and cut six production employees and let the managers step in. Then you'll see the deadwood rise to the top.

I hate the "It hurts me as much as it hurts you." B.S.

That sucks and I'm not even going to say it's better than no job at all....cuz it still sucks!  :sad:

It sounds just like something Bill Lumberg would say.

Be grateful, Stiv - at least you still have something. I work for a newspaper. Clock's ticking.

But don't they have to print all the terrible news about the economy or is that just left up to the tv networks?

I should rephrase that: I work for a weekly publication. All ads, no news. It's still doomed because of our online version of the publication, not to mention craigslist, which has grown phenomenally during the 2 years since I moved here.

I have no idea what you just said, but I'm already expanding my horizons. I foresee a future in seed harvesting & storage and cultivating a potato farm. In five years, I hope to be out of printing for good.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

I see this conversation had started about 2 months ago, but I just caught it today.  I wanted to make a statement here, but decided to wait until I got home and say it just in case big brother is watching / listening.  Anyway, my company decided to make all these fancy prinergy upgrades with has so many new features - blah blah blah.  Long story short, the company refuses to pay anyone for training and it fell on me to sit and figure some stuff out.  Well, you know what?  You can bet your ass there are a few features that all in all could save the company a little bit of money and time.  But you know what?  I am the only one in that entire company that knows it.  Management is too busy with their heads in their asses to really actually learn anything so I CHOOSE NOT TO TELL THEM!  Know why?  I happen to really like the people I work with.  We are like family.  Faster/Better features = less employees.  I don't think I would get any special treatment or even a fricking raise for taking all this time to figure it out cause they're too cheap to hire a trainer.  So, Screw Em I Say!  Well, change "screw" to one big fat "F-Bomb".  I will keep all this fancy new knowledge to myself!  We haven't had any layoffs yet and I'm going to see to it that all of us are ALWAYS needed.  Even if it takes a little bit longer to get something to press.  Honestly, they would never know the difference!  ****Side note- I love this new look!  You people ROCK!

Why does this story sound familiar ... hmmm ... OH! I remember! It's only the STORY OF MY LIFE!! :angry: My company spent 4 times the cost of a training class for me to sit in an office for a period of time and figure something out. When I pointed this out, I got the blankest stare ....
