[geeks] Laid off blues

[John]

	Count me and my wife as one each. I was at a video streaming company and
they laid off 80% starting with me (Sr. hardware QA) and the Sr. software QA
guy. To this day (11 months later) the bugs I reported my last week are
still there. My wife's dotcom did email. They laid off 95% and then sold
everything off. I guess the last employees were allowed to stay when they
became an entirely different company.
