Reply #71: plus, at my last employer, they laid off everyone in the company over 40. [View All]

(except for the founder-chief engineer, who owned all the important intellectual property). They made us sign an agreement not to sue them for age discrimination before they'd give us our final paycheck (money we had already earned).

this company was closely managed by its venture capitalist investors.

they *are* fuckers. motherfuckers. vermin. they made a shitload of money during the internet boom (when a monkey with a checking account couldn't lose) and have struck out totally ever since, screwing people right and left along the way. next to king george and his cabal, they are my least favorite five people on earth. I imagine a special circle of hell for them, where they will spend all eternity getting paper cuts all over their entire bodies from the filthy, disease-ridden edges of dollar bills.
