so, the ultimate corporate irony: several layoffs, and today they announce wage freezes

for every single employee that isn't laid off.

and THEN, HR sends out this message:

1. I wish I had something to say about the above

besides thinking that sometimes, it's not worth getting out of bed in the morning...

p.s. My husband was laid off three weeks ago. I bet him a dollar the night before last that more layoffs are coming at his old company. He wouldn't take the bet.

2. Your HR Director needs to be strung up by his/her toenails.

I've never much liked HR people, the one where I work is mean and not very helpful at all.

Sorry to hear your place of employment is cutting back; hope you're safe.

3. This is why I quit my ATT management job and went back to school.

I wanted to preserve the little sanity I had.

4. I think that's to keep folks from coming back and shooting up the place

after the next round of layoffs.

How perfectly tasteless.

5. Those of us that have worked in Corporate America

Know perfectly why it cannot regulate itself.
