hang in there bro!
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
That's what sucks. There have been talks of layoffs for a couple months and it's been all the buzz at the shop, guys standing around talking and I mean for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. Then there's me who NEVER got involved in those talks, and just kept my nose to the grindstone. Hell, I even got a nick name at work, WOW or Wide Open Wade as I just am working and going 100% of the time I'm there. And I get cut. Fuggers.I am just continuing to what I do as well as I can
:stretchgrWade, lets meet up in Eau Claire and get drunk!
That's because the cuts have nothing to do with the type of employee we are most of the time.That's what sucks.

We may just have to work on that, I can work that into a trip to Spicer, MN to visit a friend of mine, also Sauztime is in that area as well, heck, maybe we can get a little mini herf going.Anyhow, if you and Josh meet up in Eau CLaire next week, give me a call.

LIFO? Last in first out?That's what sucks.

That made up the majority of it, however there were 35, 22 and two 17 year employees that got let go in the same meeting I was in. As bad as I feel for myself, I feel much worse for them, hell, Gus, the 35 year guy was 2 1/2 years away from retirement. What the heck is that guy gonna do now? :frownno:LIFO? Last in first out?
He worked there for 35 years and they he wasn't vested in anything? Or does the company not offer a retirement package?That made up the majority of it, however there were 35, 22 and two 17 year employees that got let go in the same meeting I was in.
