It’s disturbing that business has felt a need to soften the impact of firing people by coming up with words that sound less harsh and final, yet still don’t imply there’s a possibility that the people will get called back to work (as the word layoff does). The company where I work has “restructured” and as a result I know even more unemployed people than I used to, except these people are friends.

Most of these people have worked here for over a decade and now they’re gone. If you or anyone you know need extraordinarily talented graphic designers, video experts, or computer support technicians, email me at jimvoorhies at gmail.com and I’ll put you in contact with them.

Thanks. This fucking sucks.
