12 April 2006

The mystery has been cleared up [More:]The ex informed me that at the meeting he'd been at (that jonmc wasn't there for) that everyone who didn't get laid off was given a "reassurance" meeting so that they could be assured that everything was okay. Since I hadn't been in the office that Friday, I didn't get one and I think he mentioned that he just came back from a business trip so I think he was just getting around to me.

So he's not being creepy, just thorough.

You did get my resume okay, right, DW?
it's still weird...be on your guard. I think they obviously have assessed and decided on who they really need around (it's not everyone left, i don't think) and meeting with everyone is just the covering pr thing. Most places who do layoffs of just some tend to do more later and more later, etc.

Time Warner's been doing it in tiny bits for months and months now--once a month there's an announcement: 200 gone here, then 100 there, then 300, etc.

That's part of the 'good cop' thing we were talking about in the first thread. SOP.

Well, like I told you earlier, my intelligence from Miss S. and Amy Fineliquer tells me that there may be a creepo factor along with the usual business strategy here.

Also, there's way too much fucking intrigue in that joint for such a tedious job. That I will not miss.

Also, tonight I learned that hairgel has the favorable side effect of keeping a yarmulke solidly in place, and that what Manischewitz lacks in flavor it makes up for in potency. And any religious ritual that requires copious alcohol consumption is fine by me.

Yes, I enjoyed a seder this evening, as well. L'chaim!
