    Wow, so, if I wasn't laid off last fall, I'd be without a job today and missing a paycheck right now. It looks like I got a better severance package than everyone else (just 2 weeks) is getting now (minus 2 weeks). Any who, a lot of (just now) former employees are going to the media. I hope they tell some of the good stuff so I don't have to do it myself. Maybe I'm a curse? My company 2 jobs back laid off half the workforce a year after I left. My last employer collapsed within 8 months of my leaving. Should my current company be worried? Am I a company killer?

      Perhaps you were rocked to sleep in a golden parachute whilst still a wee tad ? In any case, congratulations on your good fortune ! best, Bill

        Does sort of sound like it. Perhaps you should stick to comedy.

        You what they say, a good comedian kills the audience. :-D

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

            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...
