Chase whacked 10% of the entire IT field back in October.

 

 

They cut more than that previously. Their target were the higher paid personell and my step fathers job was hacked back in June but someone slightly above him "created" a position for him but that only lasted until Aug. He is on a 6 month pension that ends next month and still cant find a job for even half of what he was making.

so you guys want to start a website? maybe make us rich at the expensive of others?

 

Porn? I'm in with camera in hand :p

 

Personally, I'm keeping my options open and resume and history brushed up as there's no telling in todays market what could happen to who next. Hell, last December I was recruited out of a good job, given the offer of a lifetime, was doing great and then in August got cut!....doing well now, but hell, I won't feel secure for a long while.
