Clearly it's because you alone do so much that without you companies cannot support themselves, having not realized you do the work of 100 men and only replacing you with 1.

[^] Wasendorf forged signatures and fabricated bank balances on the documents and simply mailed them back to the Chicago-based NFA, the person said. The scheme apparently began to unravel as the NFA shifted to electronic confirmations. The NFA "started getting suspicious. He was resisting this new way of confirming the balance," the source said. Wasendorf only recently signed the authorization, a decision that would quickly have led regulators to uncover the discrepancy. Note in my profile: "Back office, end of day reporting, NFA compliance." That was for them, they let me go in October.

I think you were better off out of it! Somebody grew fat on that though. I wonder where the cash is.

They did pay nice bonuses though. Where'd the money go? Gold. Mostly in gold, the rest was squandered on strippers, hookers, hotels, jets, etc.

My boss said "Maybe, we're next!" His last job was at refco [^] which collapsed while he was there, he left and got 2 offers. One was for the place we currently work, the other was for the place I worked at, that collapsed this week.

Where does the squandering come in?

No dogs or cats are in the classroom. My Mu[sic] My Films My Windows Programs, etc.

When it's other peoples' money. The President was the type of guy to go to strip clubs and claim he "lost" thousands. Yes, he would say he "lost" a roll of money there.

But you should never ever spend your own money. As Shakespeare said, That way lies madness. :)

Yeah, I was along for the ride. I thought I was enjoying his money when we bought $1600 bottles of wine, $100 plate dinners, etc, knowing it was likely others' brings about some guilt.

Don't take this the wrong way... but I hope I don't see you around.

Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

You're not alone! The first three major jobs I had in life were with large companies which ceased to exist within a year of my leaving them. It's made it tough to list references ever since...
