RE: My job sucks more than yours - El Dingo - 10-11-2018
Intel sold us to some Romney-esque finance company.
They said they will make us profitable in 5 years then sell us off.
They laid off 200+ people and reduced our IT support team of 6 to 2, me and my bro Kristi (a 16 year veteran).
I'm throwing resumes to Pixar, Pandora, Gracenote etc. I want a fun gig.
It's weird looking for work at 55.

Oh bummer. That totally beats the wyrm.
Ftw?

Fuck.

Ugh.
MAGA!

Our websites were struck by a malware attack this week. Our retail store went down Saturday and was offline until late Monday - right in the middle of the gift buying rush. KFM's admin is all fucked up blocking me from posting my final Season 2 Man at Arms piece. KFM is operating fine on the outside but new content is jammed from the damage. These two sites are housed in completely different places. There are some adjoining links, but this looks more like a targeted act of war from our competitors. One of our biggest competitors is now in development of a major tournament to happen two weeks prior to ours in the Bay Area.
Looks like I'll be spending the New Year sharpening my swords...again.

That really sucks, big time. Hope the tides of war turn soon.

What the serious F? Do you really think it's a competitor?

It's still the martial world. I've seen worse, much worse. This is bloodless.

Oy vey.

Yeah, I take it all back. Today was one of the worst days at the office ever. We will be letting go of some major resources in my department. I’m grateful that we will still be in print and no one is getting laid off yet, but it’s a dramatic change for us.
Some of it is in preparation for the trade war. 85% of our product comes from PRC.
More to come...

Oh, boy. Ominous. And the timing. Not that there's ever a good time.
Waiting for the other feiyue to drop...

Ug. What happened? Do you still have Kevin and Pat and ..... your video guy's name escapes me? Is there an end coming to the magazine?
I do not approve of this message.

I'm wondering if you'll have to stop wrapping the zine in butcher paper, so to speak. But what comes will come...

Your position won't change cf, and the print mag struggles onward.
Sorry to be elusive but there are a lot of axes in the air, and as that song goes 'Be careful with that axe, Eugene'.
