Amazon 7 #1 May 16, 2006 Well I did it.... I am taking my severance package and running. My team got re-orged( the euphamism used by middle management to justify their jobs every 18 months) out of existence and I had 3 job offers with other teams within the company. The only trouble is.....they would all have been lateral moves( read that higher level jobs but at the same old pay and level I am at currently). So.... time to relax a bit... polish up the resume and do a REAL job search in the REAL world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jdthomas 0 #11 May 16, 2006 I had some of the best times and worst times of my life while unemployed. I did find new values and think that I am better off now having experienced that twice. Both of those times where a real blow to me as I was not ready for a company downsize at either time. but I came out on top and have thrived for it. I hope that your experience will fill you with some new direction and meaning.

The otter is the one that we had at the Threshing bee boogie in 2004. It's not a Super otter, but for us it's still pretty super.
