IT Job Market Is Tanking, But Not For Everyone
CWmike writes "Shortly after the COO of Automated HealthCare Solutions learned that Microsoft planned to cut 5,000 workers over the next 18 months, he and another employee of the medical services provider flew out to Redmond. AHCS now has more than 100 resumes, some of them from Microsoft employees, for about a dozen open positions. That's how the tech job market is these days: there's no doubt the market is tanking, but not for everyone. While numerous IT vendors are laying off workers, and corporate IT jobs are being lost as well, plenty of companies are still hiring. Microsoft's careers site lists more than 700 open jobs in the US, both technical and administrative positions. And IBM has about 3,200 jobs and internships listed worldwide, more than 550 of them in the US — even as it cuts thousands of workers in a move that it is describing not as a layoff, but an effort to 'match skills and resources with our client needs."
You were not laid off, you numbnuts. You were fired.
I can tell from the way you put together your post that you're a self-absorbed moron who has no talent, no skill and no experience other than passing the time.
It's fn hilarious that you advice people to put their ego aside. The irony is delicious.
At best you may be a decent salesman of yourself, or in other words, a whore.
You really think the GP was meant to be real? Its just a humorous story, nothing else. If I was that guy, you would have either heard of me by now out of infamy, or the events surrounding (to my knowledge something this bad has never happened in MS-DOS, a bad patch ruining the PAUSE function of all things.)
