You too huh?!?! They too have prlly just worked a scheme to send it all to
China. This is happening to .. Oh, and, just after a project I worked on
just got consumer reports best buy.

I used to not want to make my corp look bad, so I didn't name names, but
now, I realise that they are doing a far better job than I ever could to
ruin their PR, so anything i do is insignificant in comparison..

As a matter of fact, there is a rumor that to justify the move to China that
upper level execs have told the direct managers to give all their ppl bad
reviews. I have a memo as proof, so I am hoping heads will roll. Unethical
practices. I am prlly safe from this personally, but if u are going to close
the place down, just do it; don't add insult to injury.

BTW, I was also personally told to "refrain from explosive rhetoric because
it makes ppl think you are unstable". No shit I am unstable, idiot. I
haven't had any job long enough to get any sort of savings together, I have
had to move 3 times because every corp I have worked for in the past 5 years
has went under. Moving is NOT CHEAP, mind you. I tell managers that I will
use my severance to buy a Dragunov and a Zeiss scope if get laid off. :) I
read Shotgun News on my break time a lot, and I make sure to point out some
of the nifty things in there to all the managers I run across. ;)) Needless
to say, they are a lot nicer to me lately.

Im just so sick and F##$#$ tired of being nice and doing the "right thing",
working hard, yadda yadda.. I just want to sue the crap out of them, I want
them to give my attack dogs at the law firm something to use. Why work hard
when you can litigate?

Hey, at least its not insider trading. :)

Hang in there man.. Anybody want to start a synth-diy commune in the desert
somewhere? Im serious, btw..
