@acetone_kitten Six weeks after Raytheon hired me and promised to move a bunch of work from New York to Texas, L-3 bought the divison of the company for which I worked and moved the last of the Texas jobs to New York. That same year I got a performance-based promotion for doing no work.based literally on the work I didn't do wrong.

Smash capitalism.

@literorrery @acetone_kitten Sis, at least one of your novels needs to be a satire of this nonsense. Yoyodyne's got nothing on your work history. <3

@zebratron2084 @acetone_kitten "Today's memo: as of this morning, you work for Multitech! Please remove all references to GigaBench from your communications."
"Wait, GigaBench? What happened to WireSide?"
"WireSide lasted about a week, before their currency got hacked. Coinshare devalued them to less than lira, so they rebranded."
"... Turkish or Italian?"
"Turkish. Italy's on the Euro."
"Italy, yes; Italians, no. GigaBench it is, then."
"I think you mean Multitech."
"Oh, right."
